What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RuxolitinibDrug

    Starting dose was based on reason for previous discontinuation of ruxolitinib (i.e. loss of response or AE) and baseline platelet count. For participants who previously discontinued ruxolitinib due to loss of response, the starting dose was determined based on baseline platelet counts as follows: participants with a baseline platelet count of ≥ 200 x 109/L began dosing at 20 mg po bid; participants with a baseline platelet count of 100 x 109/L to <200 x 109/L began dosing at 15 mg po bid. Participants who previously discontinued ruxolitinib due to an AE initiated therapy at a total daily dose 5 mg lower than the total daily dose prior to discontinuation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ruxolitinib in people with Primary Myelofibrosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in 3 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 8 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Italy, Spain. 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 phase mean?

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 10 Feb 2016). 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?

Proportion of Patients Achieving ≥20% Reduction From Baseline in Spleen Volume (time frame: Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 Mar 2016.
