Clinical Trial Design Features Of Myelofibrosis Trials During The Last Decade: Comprehensive Review Of Clinicaltrials.Gov Data 2010-2019

Introduction: FDA approval of JAK2-inhibitors for myelofibrosis (MF) has changed the landscape for treatment introducing possible increased complexity of clinical trial designs in MF. Many patients with MF will have insufficient response or intolerance to ruxolitinib, opening an opportunity for testing of novel agents alone or in combination. Novel trial designs exist for early stage (phase 1 and 2) studies. The Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research Consortium (MPN-RC) is an NCI-funded academic group of laboratory and clinical scientists working to develop and evaluate treatments that will improve the survival of patients with MPNs focused on early stage trials in MF. This review was undertaken to understand the landscape of MF clinical trials and improve our approach to trial design.
