A Phase 2 Study of RO7490677 In Participants With Myelofibrosis

Phase 2CompletedNCT01981850

Hoffmann-La Roche125 enrolled

Overview

RO7490677 is an investigational drug that is being developed for possible use in the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF), a disease in which the bone marrow, which is the organ in the body that makes blood cells, is replaced by fibrosis, or excess scar tissue. The purpose of this study is to gather information on whether RO7490677 has an effect on the MF disease, whether it is safe in patients with MF, and how well it is tolerated.

Stage 1 of this study has completed. Stage 1 was an open-label, Simon two stage, Phase 2 study to determine the efficacy and safety of two different dose schedules of RO7490677 in participants with PMF and post ET/PV MF. There were two treatment cohorts, each assigned to one of two dose schedules receiving either single-agent RO7490677 or RO7490677 in combination with ruxolitinib. Participants were assigned to a weekly or every four week dosing schedule by the investigator. Stage 2 is a randomized, double-blind Phase 2 study to determine the efficacy and safety of three different doses of RO7490677 in participants with PMF and post ET/PV MF. Participants will be randomized to one of three doses: 0.3 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg of RO7490677. This is the second stage of an adaptive design study as defined in FDA Draft Guidance for Industry: Adaptive Design Clinical Trials for Drugs and Biologics, February 2010. Modifications to dose levels, schedule, and regimen have been made in Stage 2 based on data from Stage 1.

Must have adequate organ function as demonstrated by the following: * ALT (SGPT) and/or AST (SGOT) ≤ 3x upper limit of normal (ULN), or ≤ 4 x ULN (if upon judgment of the treating physician, it is believed to be due to extramedullary hematopoiesis \[EMH\] related to MF); * Direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; or ≤ 2x ULN (if upon judgment of the treating physician, it is believed to be due to EMH related to MF); * Serum creatinine ≤ 2.5 mg/dL x ULN. Exclusion Criteria: 1. White blood cell count \> 25 x 10e9/L or \> 10% peripheral blood blasts; 2. Other invasive malignancies within the last 3 years, except non- melanoma skin cancer and localized cured prostate and cervical cancer; 3. History of stroke, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication or mechanical control within the last 6 months; 4. Presence of active serious infection; 5. Any serious, unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would prevent, (as judged by the Investigator) the participant from signing the informed consent form or any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the participant at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study; 6.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Stage 1 Main Phase: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

ORR was defined as the percent of participants with a response according to the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria. This was defined as those participants who achieved clinical improvement (CI), partial remission (PR), or complete remission (CR) at a post-baseline assessment of treatment response OR had at least stable disease (SD) for three consecutive end-of-cycle response assessments (e.g. Day 1 of the subsequent cycle) in conjunction with improvement in the bone marrow fibrosis score relative to baseline by at least one grade at any time point during the period of stable disease.

Time frame: Up until and including completion of 6 cycles. Each cycle is 28 days.

Stage 2 Main Phase: Bone Marrow Response Rate (BMRR)

Response rate was defined as the percent of participants with a reduction in bone marrow fibrosis by at least one grade according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria from baseline to any time during the study. This was determined by a central adjudication panel of expert hematopathologists, blinded to participant, treatment, and time of biopsy.

Time frame: Up until and including completion of 9 cycles. Each cycle is 28 days.

Stage 1 Main + Open-Label Extension (OLE): ORR

ORR was defined as the percent of participants with a response according to the IWG-MRT criteria. This was defined as those participants who achieved CI, PR, or CR at a post-baseline assessment of treatment response OR had at least SD for three consecutive end-of-cycle response assessments (e.g. Day 1 of the subsequent cycle) in conjunction with improvement in the bone marrow fibrosis score relative to baseline by at least one grade at any time point during the period of stable disease. Participants who achieved a clinical benefit in the main phase had the opportunity to remain on treatment. The determination of ORR in the main phase is outlined in the arms description below. Participants who didn't achieve a benefit had the opportunity to switch to a different dosing schedule in the OLE phase. The determination of ORR in the OLE phase is outlined in the arms descriptions below.

Time frame: From cycle 1 day 1 up until cycle 6, day 29 (Main Phase). From cycle 7 day 1 up until study discontinuation or study termination, up to 83 cycles (OLE). Each cycle is 28 days.
