Study summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate whether treatment with pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib leads to improved clinical outcomes compared to ruxolitinib alone in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (PET-MF) who have not previously received Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participants have diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) or post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF) or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) according to the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of Myeloid Neoplasms and Acute Leukemias 2022 * DIPSS risk category of intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high-risk * Spleen volume ≥ 450 cm3 by CT or MRI scan (local read sufficient if no central read available) * Have an average TSS of ≥15 within 7 days prior to randomization, using MFSAF v. 4.0 (at least 4 out of 7 TSS assessments required for average calculation) * Participants with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2 * Blasts \<5% in peripheral blood. Assessment of blasts in peripheral blood is mandatory at screening * Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L in the absence of growth factors or transfusions for the previous 4 weeks Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior splenectomy at any time or splenic irradiation in the previous 6 months * Prior hematopoietic cell transplant or participant anticipated to receive a hematopoietic cell transplant within 24 weeks from the date of randomization * Blasts ≥ 5% in bone marrow if results available at screening or history of accelerated phase (AP) or leukemic transformation * History of a malignancy (other than MF, PPV-MF or PET-MF) in the past 3 years in need of systemic treatment * Received any approved or investigational agent other than hydroxyurea or anagrelide for the treatment of MF within 14 days of first dose of study treatment or within 5 half-lives of the approved or investigational agent, whichever is longer * Prior treatment with any JAK inhibitor or Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) inhibitor Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Number of Participants with Splenic Response (SVR35) by Central Radiology Reads at Week 24 in participants with baseline total symptom score (TSS) ≥ 25 — Week 24
    Spleen Response (SVR35) is defined as achieving a reduction of at least 35 percent in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan, and assessed by a centralized radiology review in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 25.
  • Absolute change from baseline in total symptom score (TSS) at Week 24 in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 25 — Baseline, Week 24
    Symptom improvement at Week 24 is defined as the absolute change from baseline in the total symptom score (TSS) at Week 24, as measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form version 4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 25.
  • Number of Participants with Splenic Response (SVR35) by Central Radiology Reads at Week 24 in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 15 — Week 24
    Spleen Response (SVR35) is defined as achieving a reduction of at least 35 percent in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan, and assessed by a centralized radiology review in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 15.
  • Absolute change from baseline in total symptom score (TSS) at Week 24 in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 15 — Baseline, Week 24
    Symptom improvement at Week 24 is defined as the absolute change from baseline in the total symptom score (TSS) at Week 24, as measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form version 4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) in participants with baseline TSS ≥ 15.
