HOVON 172 MF: Study on tasquinimod treatment in patients with myelofibrosis
EU CTIS ID: 2024-511565-11-00
What this study is testing
Phase 1b: - To assess the feasibility and safety of once daily dose of tasquinimod in subjects who are JAK inhibitor refractory or intolerant and with a current diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), postpolycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) - To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of tasquinimod and recommended phase 2 dose level (RP2D) for the phase 2 part of this study Phase 2: - To evaluate the efficacy of once daily dose of tasquinimod in subjects who are JAK inhibitor refractory or intolerant and with a current diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), postpolycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) based on the reduction of spleen volume (SVR≥ 35%) measured by MRI after 32 weeks (SVR35W32).

What rules you out
- 1 Patients eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (suitable candidate and a suitable donor is available)
- 19 Need for ongoing therapy with drug substances of narrow therapeutic range that are metabolized mainly by CYP3A4 as listed in appendix H
- 20 Need for ongoing therapy with drug substances of narrow therapeutic range metabolized mainly by CYP1A2 as listed in appendix H

- 21 Ongoing treatment with vitamin K antagonist, unless the INR is ≤ 3.0
- 22 Prior treatment with tasquinimod
- 23 Major surgery within 3 months
- 24 Pregnant or breast feeding (lactating) women
- 25 Any other condition that would, in the Investigator’s judgment, contraindicate subject’s participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures e.g. any uncontrolled disease such as pulmonary disease, infection or seizure disorder; intestinal obstruction, inability to swallow medication, any altered mental status or psychiatric condition that would interfere with the understanding of the informed consent
- 26 Current participation (during interventional treatment) in another clinical trial
- 27 Any psychological, familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule
- 11 Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of tasquinimod (e.g., ulcerative diseases, pancreatitis uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection)
- 3 Splenic irradiation within the last 6 months
