MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Spleen Volume at Week 24 Compared to BaselineBaseline and Week 24Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan in participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. The MRIs or CTs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred. A positive value indicates an increase in spleen volume and a negative value indicates a decrease in spleen volume.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Vital Signsup to approximately 40 months (3.3 years)Vital signs included body temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, weight and height. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator. The number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs were reported.
Change From Baseline Through Week 12 in SVR as Measured by MRI (or CT Scan in Applicable Participants)Baseline through Week 12Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (or CT scan in applicable participants). MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis was performed, to assess spleen volumes. MRI was performed with a body coil. The MRIs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. MRI was the preferred method for obtaining spleen volume data. The CT scans were processed by the same central laboratory used for MRIs. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred.

Change From Baseline Through Week 12 and Week 24 on Spleen Length as Measured by PalpationBaseline through Weeks 12 and 24Measurement of spleen length below the left costal margin was measured by palpation. Spleen size was determined at every physical examination with the participant in the recumbent (not left decubitus) position. The edge of the spleen was determined by palpation, and measured in centimeters, using a soft ruler, from the costal margin to the point of greatest splenic protrusion. The measurements should be noted and the site at which it was determined listed (eg, anterior axillary line, midclavicular line, and/or subxiphoid). A positive value indicates an increase in spleen volume and a negative value indicates a decrease in spleen volume.

Change in Spleen Volume at Week 24 Compared to Baseline

Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan in participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. The MRIs or CTs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred. A positive value indicates an increase in spleen volume and a negative value indicates a decrease in spleen volume.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 24

Population: Full Analysis Set included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of itacitinib. Here, Overall Number of participants analyzed (N) signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (or CT scan in applicable participants). MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis was performed, to assess spleen volumes. MRI was performed with a body coil. The MRIs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. MRI was the preferred method for obtaining spleen volume data. The CT scans were processed by the same central laboratory used for MRIs. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred.

MRI was performed with a body coil. The MRIs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. MRI was the preferred method for obtaining spleen volume data. The CT scans were processed by the same central laboratory used for MRIs. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred.

Time frame: Baseline through Week 12

Population: Full Analysis Set included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of itacitinib. Here, N signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Itacitinib

The concentrations of itacitinib in plasma were determined using a validated LC/MS/MS method with an assay range of 5 to 5000 nM. The PK parameters were calculated using standard noncompartmental analysis in Phoenix WinNonlin® v8.2 (Certara USA Inc., Princeton, NJ). Data for Cohort A (Itacitinib) on Week 2 was not available as Cohort A, itacitinib was to be held on Week 2 until the completion of the PK sample collection.

Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 1, 2, 5 and 8 hours post-dose on Week 2 and Week 4

Population: Pharmacokinetic evaluable population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of itacitinib and provided at least 1 post-dose plasma sample for PK. Here, N signifies number of participants analyzed for this outcome measure.
