Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of imetelstat in participants with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF) whose disease is relapsed after or is refractory to Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor treatment. Key secondary endpoint includes overall survival.
Brief Title
Study to Evaluate Activity of 2 Dose Levels of Imetelstat in Participants With Intermediate-2 or High-Risk Myelofibrosis (MF) Previously Treated With Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitor
Detailed Description
This is a randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), multicenter (more than one hospital, medical school team or medical clinic work on a medical research study) study of 2 dosing regimens (treatment arms) of single-agent imetelstat in participants with intermediate-2 or high risk myelofibrosis (MF) whose disease is relapsed after or refractory to Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor treatment. The main study consists of 3 parts: Screening Phase (21 days before randomization); Treatment Phase (from randomization until study drug discontinuation); and Follow up Phase (until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent or study end, whichever occurs first). Participants received imetelstat 9.4 milligram (mg)/kilogram (kg) intravenously (IV) for every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study end OR imetelstat 4.7 mg/kg IV for every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study end. Initially, all participants were blinded to the treatment. After the first interim analysis, treatment for all participants was unblinded and participants assigned to the imetelstat 4.7 mg/kg arm could continue with their same imetelstat dose or have it increased to 9.4 mg/kg at the investigator's discretion. The percentage of spleen response and symptom response were evaluated as co-primary endpoints. Following completion of the primary analysis, participants benefiting from study treatment could continue to receive imetelstat in Extension phase for up to 2 years or until loss of benefit or unacceptable toxicity. Participants who had already stopped study treatment could enter the Extension phase to continue follow up for safety via serious adverse event collection and for survival status.

Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With Spleen Response
Outcome Time Frame
Week 24
Outcome Description
Symptom response rate is defined as percentage of participants who achieved ≥ 50% reduction in total symptom score (TSS) at Week 24 from baseline as measured by the modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) version 2.0 diary. The MFSAF assessed following symptoms due to Myelofibrosis (MF): night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under ribs on left side, feeling of fullness, bone or muscle pain and degree of inactivity. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable) with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms and greater inactivity. The total score ranges from 0-70, where 0 indicates absent/as good as it can be and 70 indicates worst imaginable/as bad as it can be.

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess quality of life of cancer patients. The EORTC QLQ-C30 included 30 items resulting in 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties) which are based on 4-point scale (1= Not at all to 4= Very much); and 1 global health status scale based on 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7= Excellent). All scales and items are averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better level of functioning. Clinically meaningful improvement defined as change greater than half of the standard deviation at baseline in QLQ-C30 Global Health Status.

Outcome Description
EQ-5D-5L is a standardized health-related quality of life questionnaire developed by EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and VAS. EQ-5D health state profile comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. The 5D-5L systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where higher score indicates a better health state. EQ-5D-5L- VAS is designed to rate the participant's current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state.
Outcome Time Frame
At the end of treatment, up to approximately 2.3 years
