The study will be conducted in compliance with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. This is a Phase 1/2 multicenter, single arm, open-label study in Japanese subjects with DIPSS intermediate or high-risk PMF, post-PV or post-ET MF. The study consists of 2 parts: Phase 1 part to determine safety and tolerability and a RP2D. The Phase 1 portion of the study will explore one or more drug doses for fedratinib (300 mg and 400 mg) using a mTPI-2 design. Following completion of dose escalation and determination of MTD and/or a RP2D, the study will progress into the Phase 2 part to further evaluate the efficacy and safety. The study will consist of 3 periods: a Screening Period, a Treatment Period including a 30-day follow-up after last dose visit and a survival follow-up period.
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.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
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.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (27/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
