P1101 in Treating Patients With Myelofibrosis

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of P1101 (polyethyleneglycol [PEG]-proline-interferon alpha-2b) in treating patients with myelofibrosis. PEG-proline-interferon alpha-2b is a substance that can improve the body's natural response and may slow the growth of myelofibrosis.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Evaluable myelofibrosis by IWG-MRT criteria including one or more of the following:
    • Spleen >= 5 cm below the left costal margin
    • MPN-SAF total symptom score (TSS) > 10 at baseline
    • Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL
  • Confirmed diagnosis of myelofibrosis (primary myelofibrosis or myelofibrosis secondary to essential thrombocythemia or polycythemia vera) by World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria (3 major and 2 minor criteria: major criteria: megakaryocyte proliferation and atypia with either reticulin and/or collagen fibrosis, not meeting criteria for chronic myelogenous leukemia [CML], polycythemia vera [PV], myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS], or other myeloid neoplasm, JAK2V617F or other clonal marker or no evidence of reactive marrow fibrosis; minor criteria: leukoerythroblastosis, increased lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], anemia, palpable splenomegaly)
  • For cohort 1: early stage MF (low or intermediate 1 stage as defined by Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System [DIPSS]) without currently available treatment options
  • For cohort 2: intermediate-2 or high risk MF patients as defined by DIPSS either not eligible for ruxolitinib or having failed under ruxolitinib
  • No prior treatment for myelofibrosis (for cohort 1 only)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2
  • Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000/mm^3
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN
  • Calculated creatinine clearance must be >= 50 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only
  • Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance
  • Provide informed written consent
  • Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up
  • Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research purposes

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiation =< 2 weeks of registration
  • For cohort 1 only: patients with evidence of intermediate 2 or high risk disease (according to DIPSS)
  • For cohort 1 only: patients with a bone marrow biopsy with < 15% cellularity, evidence of collagen fibrosis, osteosclerosis, or blasts > 10% in peripheral blood or marrow (demonstrating advanced disease)
  • Patients who have received a prior stem cell transplant
  • Patients who have received radiation to the spleen within 3 months prior to registration
  • Patients with intolerance to compounds similar to pegylated interferon alpha-2b
  • Patients with evidence of >= grade 2 peripheral sensory neuropathy
  • Any of the following:
    • Pregnant women
    • Nursing women
    • Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
  • Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
  • Immunocompromised patients or patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy
  • Uncontrolled simultaneous illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, history of depression, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm
  • History of myocardial infarction =< 6 months prior to registration, or congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias
  • History of significant or major funduscopic findings including, but not limited to, retinal exudates, hemorrhage, detachment, neovascularization, papilledema, optic atrophy, micro-aneurysm or macular changes
  • Other active malignancy at time of registration; EXCEPTIONS: non-melanotic skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix
