A Phase 3b, Multicenter, Single-arm, Open-label Safety AND Efficacy Study of Fedratinib in Subjects With DIPSS-Intermediate or High-Risk Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis

This is Single-Arm, Open-Label Efficacy and Safety Trial of Fedratinib in Subjects with DIPSS
(Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System)-Intermediate or High- Risk Primary
Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or Post-Essential
Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) and Previously Treated with Ruxolitinib.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the percentage of subjects with at least a
35% reduction of spleen volume and one of the secondary objectives is to evaluate the safety
of fedratinib


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form
(ICF)

2. Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score (PS) of 0,
1 or 2

3. Subject has diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) according to the 2016 World
Health Organization (WHO) criteria, or diagnosis of post-ET or post-PV myelofibrosis
according to the IWG-MRT 2007 criteria, confirmed by the most recent local pathology
report

4. Subject has a DIPSS Risk score of Intermediate or High

5. Subject has a measurable splenomegaly during the screening period as demonstrated by
spleen volume of ≥ 450 cm3 by MRI or CT-scan assessment or by palpable spleen
measuring ≥ 5 cm below the left costal margin

6. Subject has been previously exposed to ruxolitinib, and must meet at least one of the
following criteria (a or b)

a. Treatment with ruxolitinib for ≥ 3 months b. Treatment with ruxolitinib for ≥ 28
days complicated by any of the following:

- Development of a red blood cell transfusion requirement (at least 2 units/month
for 2 months) or

- Grade ≥ 3 AEs of thrombocytopenia, anemia, hematoma, and/or hemorrhage while on
treatment with ruxolitinib

7. Subject must have treatment-related toxicities from prior therapy resolved to Grade 1
or pretreatment baseline before start of last therapy prior to fedratinib treatment.

8. Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related
assessments/procedures being conducted

9. Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol
requirements

10. A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:

1. Have two negative pregnancy tests as verified by the Investigator prior to
starting study therapy. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the
course of the study, and after end of study therapy. This applies even if the
subject practices true abstinence* from heterosexual contact.

2. Either commit to true abstinence* from heterosexual contact (which must be
reviewed on a monthly basis and source documented) or agree to use, and be able
to comply with acceptable effective contraception** without interruption, -14
days prior to starting investigational product, during the study therapy
(including dose interruptions), and for 30 days after discontinuation of study
therapy.

Note: A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who: 1) has achieved
menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral
oophorectomy, or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following
cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24
consecutive months (ie has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive
months).

11. Male subjects must:

1. Practice true abstinence* (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to
use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of
childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose
interruptions and for at least 30 days following investigational product
discontinuation, or longer if required for each compound and/or by local
regulations, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.

- True abstinence is acceptable when this is in line with the preferred and
usual lifestyle of the subject. [Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar,
ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not
acceptable methods of contraception].

- Agreement to use highly effective methods of contraception that alone
or in combination result in a failure rate of a Pearl index of less
than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly throughout the
course of the study. Such methods include: Combined (estrogen and
progestogen containing) hormonal contraception: Oral; Intravaginal;
Transdermal; Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with
inhibition of ovulation: Oral; Injectable hormonal contraception;
Implantable hormonal contraception; Placement of an intrauterine
device; Placement of an intrauterine hormone-releasing system;
Bilateral tubal occlusion; Vasectomized partner.

Exclusion Criteria:
