About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Open-label, Multi-center, Dose-finding Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Oral Combination of LDE225 and INC424 (Ruxolitinib) in Patients With Myelofibrosis

The purpose of this phase Ib/II clinical trial was to: a) evaluate the safety of the co-administration of LDE225 and INC424 in myelofibrosis patients and establish a maximum tolerated dose and/or Recommended Phase II dose of the combination and b) to assess the efficacy of the co-administration of LDE225 and INC424 on spleen volume reduction.

Read the detailed description

The study is considered to have been completed because the participants completed the study as per study design at the time of trial termination. If participants were already in extension phase until discontinuation criteria were met or alternative setting was available, they were considered as completed. The study was terminated due to one of the compounds being divested.

    The number of patients experiencing improvement in their bone marrow fibrosis by at least one grade and assessment of cellularity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 25 Day 1 (Week 24), Week 49 Day 1 (Week 48)

  7. Phase Ib and Phase ll: Summary of JAK2V617F Allele Burden by Visit and Treatment in Phase Ib and Phase II Stage 1

  9. Phase Ib and Phase II: Percentage of Participants With >= 50% Reduction From Baseline in MFSAF Total Symptom Scores

    The 7-day modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v2.0 is a 7-item PRO instrument based on the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary administered at specified visits. The first 6 items assess MF symptom severity at its worst as recalled in the 7 days prior to the clinic visit assessment. The symptoms measured include night sweats, itching, abdominal discomfort, pain under the ribs (left side), early satiety, \& bone/muscle pain. The 7th item captures MF-related inactivity in the past 7 days prior to the clinic visit assessment. All 7 items ask subjects to record their answers on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), (0 = Absent, 10 = Worst Imaginable). The first 6 items of the instrument focus on MF symptoms \& are summed to create a Total Symptom score.

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  10. Phase Ib and Phase II: Change in Total Symptom Score (TSS) From Baseline to Week 25 & Week 49 Using the MFSAF Total Symptom Scores

    The 7-day modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v2.0 is a 7-item PRO instrument based on the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary administered at specified visits. The first 6 items assess MF symptom severity at its worst as recalled in the 7 days prior to the clinic visit assessment. The symptoms measured include night sweats, itching, abdominal discomfort, pain under the ribs (left side), early satiety, \& bone/muscle pain. The 7th item captures MF-related inactivity in the past 7 days prior to the clinic visit assessment. All 7 items ask subjects to record their answers on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), (0 = Absent, 10 = Worst Imaginable). The first 6 items of the instrument focus on MF symptoms \& are summed to create a Total Symptom score.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 25, Week 49

  11. Phase I and Phase II: Change in EORTC QLQ-C30 Scores From Baseline Compared to Week 24 & Week 48

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is the European Organization for Research \& Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire \& is one of the most widely used \& validated instruments to measure health-related QoL in subjects with cancer. The scale includes 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning \& social functioning), global health status/QoL \& 9 symptom scale/items (fatigue, nausea \& vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, \& financial difficulties). This instrument asks the subject to respond according to the past week, with the exception of the first 5 questions that represent physical functioning \& capture the subject's current status. The range of scores for all of the scales is from 0 to 100. For functional \& global health status/QoL scales, higher scores indicate better QoL \& level of functioning; for symptom scales, higher scores indicate greater level of symptoms or difficulties.

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  12. Phase Ib and Phase II: LDE225: PK Parameter: Racc

    Racc: Accumulation ratio calculated as AUC0-12h on Week 9 Day 1 divided by AUC0-12h on Week 1 Day 1 [fold]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing LDE225 and INC424 in people with Primary Myelofibrosis and Thrombocytosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 18 sites in 11 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and 6 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (Phase 1b) (time frame: 6 weeks (42 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01787552, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2020.
