Asian Phase II Study of INC424 in Patients With Primary Myelofibrosis (MF), Post-PV MF or Post-ET MF

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-10-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of INC424 as assessed by reduction in spleen volume in patients with primary myelofibrosis (MF), post-polycythemia vera (PV) MF, or post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) MF. The safety and tolerability of INC424 and the effects of INC424 on patient reported outcomes and the duration of response as assessed by reduction in spleen volume was also assessed.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
