Study on Oral Navitoclax and Ruxolitinib Tablets Compared to Best Available Therapy for Reducing Spleen Size in Adults with Relapsed or Refractory Myelofibrosis
Sponsor: AbbVie
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04468984
This clinical trial is testing whether a combination of the investigational drug navitoclax and ruxolitinib can reduce spleen size in adults with myelofibrosis that has returned or not improved after previous treatment. The study compares this combination to the best available therapy.

Program Overview
Myelofibrosis is a rare type of blood cancer that causes scarring in the bone marrow and an enlarged spleen. This study aims to see if taking navitoclax with ruxolitinib can safely reduce spleen size compared to the best available treatment for adults with myelofibrosis that has come back or not improved after treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one group will take navitoclax and ruxolitinib, another will receive the best available therapy, and the third will take navitoclax alone. The study will involve about 330 participants worldwide, and treatment could last up to three years. Participants will have regular hospital or clinic visits for medical assessments, blood and bone marrow tests, and to check for side effects.
