This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of pacritinib and selinexor in JAK inhibitor naïve patients with anemia and thrombocytopenia.
This Phase II, multicenter, open-label will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pacritinib and selinexor in JAK inhibitor naïve patients with anemia and thrombocytopenia. Participants will receive pacritinib monotherapy for 1 cycle (4 weeks) and will be assessed for qualification to proceed to combination therapy at Cycle 2 Day 1. Participants who qualify for combination therapy will receiving pacritinib and selinexor for the remaining cycles. Participants who do not qualify at Cycle 2 Day 1 will have weekly assessments and count checks. If they meet criteria for combination therapy at any point, selinexor will be added onto pacritinib. Participants who do not qualify for combination therapy by Cycle 4 Day 1 will complete 6 cycles of pacritinib monotherapy, complete primary endpoint assessments after 24 weeks, and discontinue study participation. Participants receiving combination therapy must demonstrate clinical benefit at Cycle 7 Day 1 (24 weeks) to continue receiving therapy until loss of response, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant/physician withdrawal, or the study is terminated.

Change in spleen volume
Evaluate clinical efficacy of pacritinib and selinexor in myelofibrosis patients who are JAK inhibitor-naïve and have anemia and thrombocytopenia by assessing spleen volume reduction (SVR) of 35% or greater compared to baseline as measured by imaging (MRI/CT)
Time frame: Baseline and 24 weeks
Spleen response rate
Spleen response rate (by palpation) after 6 and 12 cycles; spleen response is defined as baseline splenomegaly palpable at 5-10cm that becomes not palpable, or baseline splenomegaly of \>10cm that decreases by ≥ 50%, as measured by palpation
Time frame: At 24 weeks and 48 weeks
Change in the Myelofibrosis-Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MF-SAF TSS)
Evaluate change in patient reported outcomes of treatment Change in MF-SAF TSS from baseline after 6 and 12 cycles; symptom response will be determined in participants with baseline MF-SAF TSS ≥ 10. The MF-SAF TSS comprises 7 items measuring MF-related symptoms. Each item is scored on a scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable) and the items are summed for a total score. The Mf-SAF TSS is the summation of all the individual scores (0-70 scale). Symptoms response requires ≥50% reduction in the MPN-SAF TSS and will be evaluable only in patients with a baseline TSS \>= 10.
Time frame: At 24 weeks and 48 weeks
Change in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) response after 6 and 12 cycles; PGIC response is defined as "minimally improved" or better The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) will be used to assess self-reported belief about the efficacy of treatment. PGIC is a 7-point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement. Patients rate their change as "very much improved", "much improved", "minimally improved", "no change", "minimally worse", "much worse", or "very much worse. Total scale from 1-7, with higher score indicating poorer health outcomes.

Time frame: At 24 weeks and 48 weeks
Anemia response
Anemia response after 6 and 12 cycles; anemia response is determined according to revised 2024 International Working Group-European LeukemiaNet (IWG-ELN) criteria and includes major response rate and minor response rate for transfusion-dependent anemia. Major response: No transfusions for 12 weeks alongside a 12-week average hemoglobin increase of 150g/L Minor response: A 50% or more reduction in transfusions and failure to meet major response thresholds.
Time frame: At 24 weeks and 48 weeks
Change in hemoglobin level
Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
Time frame: Continuously across all cycles of treatment, up to 48 weeks
Change in platelet count
Platelets are part of the blood cells. Platelets are a part of the blood clotting system and help in preventing bleeding.
Time frame: Continuously across all cycles of treatment, up to 48 weeks
Progression-free survival
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as time from first treatment to disease progression by IWG-ELN criteria
Time frame: At time of disease progression or at 48 weeks, whichever occurs first
Overall survival
Overall survival (OS) is defined as time from first treatment to death due to any cause or censored at last follow-up
Time frame: At time of death or censored at last follow-up, at 48 weeks
Number of participants achieving RBC transfusion independence)
The number of participants achieving transfusion independence will be divided by the number of participants who were transfusion-dependent at baseline
Time frame: at 24 weeks and at 48 weeks
Number of participants achieving platelet transfusion independence
The number of participants achieving transfusion independence will be divided by the number of participants who were transfusion-dependent at baseline
Time frame: at 24 weeks and at 48 weeks
