Trial Outcomes & Findings for Controlled Myelofibrosis Study With Oral Janus-associated Kinase (JAK) Inhibitor Treatment-II: The COMFORT-II Trial (NCT NCT00934544)

NCT ID: NCT00934544

Last Updated: 2019-08-19

Results Overview

The change in spleen volume from baseline to week 48 was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (or by computer tomography (CT) for participants unable to undergo MRI) and was calculated only for participants who had an evaluable spleen volume at baseline. The percentage of participants achieving a greater than or equal to 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to week 48 was then calculated by treatment group.

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from 9 countries located in Europe: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom.

219 unique participants were randomized to either ruxolitinib or BAT. Of the 73 participants randomized to BAT, 45 were crossed over to ruxolitinib after a protocol-specified qualifying disease progression event.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all subjects who were randomized and put in strata according to International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment(IWG MRT) prognostic criteria. The table included participants with non-missing baseline MRI measurement of spleen volume only.

The change in spleen volume from baseline to week 48 was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (or by computer tomography (CT) for participants unable to undergo MRI) and was calculated only for participants who had an evaluable spleen volume at baseline. The percentage of participants achieving a greater than or equal to 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to week 48 was then calculated by treatment group.

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all subjects who were randomized and put in strata according to International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment(IWG MRT) prognostic criteria. Treatment groups were defined according to the treatment assignment at the time of randomization.

DoMSR is defined as the interval between the first spleen volume measurement that is \>=35% reduction from baseline and the first scan that is no longer = 35% reduction AND that is a \>25% increase over nadir. It was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimate for each treatment arm. The analysis was performed only for subjects who achieved greater than 35% reduction in spleen volume.

This was noted as fibrosis density and was tabulated by fibrosis grade at baseline and at week 48 (post-baseline). Descriptive statistics (participant percentages) were used. Fibrosis grades: 0 Scattered linear reticulin with no intersections corresponding to normal bone marrow ; 1 Loose network of reticulin with many intersections, especially in perivascular areas; 2 Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections, occasionally with only focal bundles of collagen and/or focal osteosclerosis; 3 Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis

Shift table from baseline to last available postbaseline fibrosis grade by treatment The grade gives an indication of the activity or amount of inflammation and the stage represents the amount of fibrosis or scarring. The grade is assigned a number based on the degree of inflammation, which is usually scored from 0-4 with 0 being no activity and 3 or 4 considered severe activity
