There are 5 parts to this study for which the primary objectives are to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of navitoclax when administered alone (Part 1) or when administered in combination with ruxolitinib (Part 2). In Part 2, participants must have been receiving a stable dose of ruxolitinib therapy for at least 12 weeks prior to study enrollment. In Part 3, all eligible participants will receive navitoclax, with the primary objective being to evaluate potential navitoclax effect on QTc prolongation. In Part 4, effect of navitoclax is evaluated on the PK, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of celecoxib. In Part 5, all eligible participants will receive ruxolitinib twice daily and navitoclax once daily for drug-drug interaction (DDI) assessment, followed by continued administration of navitoclax in combination with ruxolitinib.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
AbbVie Inc (ABBV) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (58/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
