About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Combination of PI3Kδ Inhibitor Parsaclisib and Ruxolitinib in Participants With Myelofibrosis
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of parsaclisib when combined with ruxolitinb versus placebo combined with ruxolitinib in participants with myelofibrosis.
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of the combination of the PI3Kδ inhibitor parsaclisib or matching placebo and the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib in participants with PMF or secondary MF (PPV-MF or PET-MF) with DIPSS risk category of intermediate or high. Prospective participants must have not received prior MF therapy with a JAK inhibitor or a PI3K inhibitor. After participants have been determined to be eligible for the study and completed the baseline symptom diary assessment for 7 days, they will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups, with stratification for platelet count (≥ 100 × 10^9/L vs 50 to < 100 × 10^9/L inclusive) and DIPSS risk category (high vs intermediate-2 vs intermediate-1).
Once all enrolled participants completed the week 24 assessments the study will be unblinded and and participants randomized to placebo will have the opportunity to cross over to begin receiving parsaclisib, together with continued ruxolitinib, as long as hematology parameters are adequate.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] (or Computed Tomography [CT] Scan in Applicable Participants)
Participants had an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to determine the spleen volume. A CT scan was substituted for participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. Determination of spleen length below the left costal margin was measured by palpation, using a flexible ruler provided by the sponsor.
Measured: Baseline; Week 24
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants Who Had a ≥50% Reduction in Total Symptom Score (TSS) From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form v4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) Diary
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores.
Measured: Baseline; Week 24
Change in TSS From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 Diary
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
Measured: Baseline; Week 24
Time to the First ≥50% Reduction in TSS as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 Diary
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores.
Measured: Baseline; up to Week 24
Overall Survival
Overall survival was defined as the interval between the randomization date and the date of death due to any cause.
Measured: up to 749 days
Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until 30 to 35 days after the last dose of parsaclisib/matching placebo or ruxolitinib.
Measured: up to 960 days
Number of Participants With Any Grade 3 or Higher TEAE
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until 30 to 35 days after the last dose of parsaclisib/matching placebo or ruxolitinib. The severity of AEs was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grades 1 through 5. Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting instrumental activities of daily living (ADL). Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4: life-threatening urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: death related to AE.
Measured: up to 960 days
Time of Onset of a ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume
The time to the first ≥35% reduction in spleen volume is defined as the time from randomization to the first time participants had ≥35% reduction in spleen volume.
Measured: up to 925 days
Duration of Maintenance of a ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume
The duration of ≥35% reduction from Baseline in spleen volume was defined as the interval between the first spleen volume measurement that was a ≥35% reduction from Baseline and the date of the first measurement that was no longer a ≥35% reduction from Baseline.
Measured: up to 925 days

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of parsaclisib when combined with ruxolitinb versus placebo combined with ruxolitinib in participants with myelofibrosis.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of the combination of the PI3Kδ inhibitor parsaclisib or matching placebo and the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib in participants with PMF or secondary MF (PPV-MF or PET-MF) with DIPSS risk category of intermediate or high. Prospective participants must have not received prior MF therapy with a JAK inhibitor or a PI3K inhibitor. After participants have been determined to be eligible for the study and completed the baseline symptom diary assessment for 7 days, they will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups, with stratification for platelet count (≥ 100 × 10^9/L vs 50 to < 100 × 10^9/L inclusive) and DIPSS risk category (high vs intermediate-2 vs intermediate-1).
Once all enrolled participants completed the week 24 assessments the study will be unblinded and and participants randomized to placebo will have the opportunity to cross over to begin receiving parsaclisib, together with continued ruxolitinib, as long as hematology parameters are adequate.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] (or Computed Tomography [CT] Scan in Applicable Participants)
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Participants had an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to determine the spleen volume. A CT scan was substituted for participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. Determination of spleen length below the left costal margin was measured by palpation, using a flexible ruler provided by the sponsor.
8 secondary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Who Had a ≥50% Reduction in Total Symptom Score (TSS) From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form v4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) Diary
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Change in TSS From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 Diary
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Time to the First ≥50% Reduction in TSS as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 Diary
Time frame: Baseline; up to Week 24
Overall Survival
Time frame: up to 749 days
Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Time frame: up to 960 days
Number of Participants With Any Grade 3 or Higher TEAE
Time frame: up to 960 days
Time of Onset of a ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume
