A Study to Evaluate 9-ING-41 As a Single Agent or in Combination with Ruxolitinib in Myelofibrosis Patients

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 9-ING-41, either by itself or in combination with Ruxolitinib, in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.  9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity while not causing myelosuppression, and has both pre-clinical anti-fibrotic activity and activity against myelofibrosis. 9-ING-41 may reduce the dose of Ruxolitinib needed for optimal therapeutic response and/or reverse myelosuppression so than an adequate dose of Ruxolitinib can be tolerated for an adequate duration to confer an optimal therapeutic outcome.

    • Surgery with general anesthesia – 7 days.
  • Patients who are to receive 9-ING-41 plus Ruxolitinib must have attempted ≥18 weeks of Ruxolitinib therapy and required dose reductions/interruptions and/or had an inadequate response.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative baseline blood or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours of first study therapy. Women may be neither breastfeeding nor intending to become pregnant during study participation and must agree to use effective contraceptive methods (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, or true abstinence) for the duration of study participation and in the following 100 days after discontinuation of study treatment.
  • Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering a child from screening until 100 days after discontinuation of study treatment and use appropriate barrier contraception or true abstinence.
