In addition, male subjects must continue to use contraception for 3 months and 1 week after the last dose of study drug and female subjects must continue to use contraception for 1 month and 1 week after the last dose of study drug. Effective birth control for males includes either vasectomy or use of condoms. Effective birth control for females includes (a) combined, estrogen and progestogen containing, hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal); (b) progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable); (c) intrauterine device; (d) intrauterine hormone-releasing system; (e) bilateral tubal occlusion; and (f) sexual abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Subjects in Part A must meet the following JAK inhibitor treatment failure criteria in order to be eligible for the study: JAK Inhibitor treatment failure in Part A must meet either criterion (a) or (b) below: a) Either a lack of spleen response defined as receiving at least 12 weeks of JAK inhibitor treatment and having both of the following: • Persistent splenomegaly, by physical exam, that is palpable = 5 cm below the lower costal margin (LCM) • and TSS of >10 on the MPN-SAF TSS v2.0 or patients with a single symptom score of >5 or two symptoms of >3, including only the symptoms of left upper quadrant pain, bone pain, itching, or night sweats b) Or progressive disease any time while on JAK inhibitor treatment as defined by any one of the following: • Spleen volume increase by = 25% from the nadir as assessed by MRI or CT • Appearance of new splenomegaly that is palpable at least 5 cm below the LCM • A = 100% increase in palpable distance, below the LCM, for baseline splenomegaly of 5 to 10 cm • A = 50% increase in palpable distance, below the LCM, for baseline splenomegaly of > 10 cm Subjects in Part B must meet the following ruxolitinib treatment failure criteria in order to be eligible for the study. Ruxolitinib treatment failure in Part B must meet either criterion (a) or (b) below: a) Either a lack of spleen response defined as receiving at least 12 weeks of ruxolitinib treatment and having at least one of the following: • For subjects that have a MRI or CT to assess ruxolitinib treatment, failure to have a least = 35% reduction in spleen volume • A Baseline splenomegaly prior to ruxolitinib treatment that is palpable at 5 to 10 cm, below the LCM, but remains palpable • A Baseline splenomegaly prior to ruxolitinib treatment that is palpable > 10 cm, below the LCM, but does not decrease by at lea
