A Phase 3 Study of Pelabresib (DAK539) and Ruxolitinib in Myelofibrosis (MF)
United States, Argentina, Australia460 participantsStarted 2026-05-27
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate whether treatment with pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib leads to improved clinical outcomes compared to ruxolitinib alone in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (PET-MF) who have not previously received Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants have diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) or post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF) or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) according to the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of Myeloid Neoplasms and Acute Leukemias 2022
* DIPSS risk category of intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high-risk
* Spleen volume ≥ 450 cm3 by CT or MRI scan (local read sufficient if no central read available)
* Have an average TSS of ≥15 within 7 days prior to randomization, using MFSAF v. 4.0 (at least 4 out of 7 TSS assessments required for average calculation)
* Participants with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2
* Blasts \<5% in peripheral blood. Assessment of blasts in peripheral blood is mandatory at screening
* Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L in the absence of growth factors or transfusions for the previous 4 weeks
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* Prior splenectomy at any time or splenic irradiation in the previous 6 months
* Prior hematopoietic cell transplant or participant anticipated to receive a hematopoietic cell transplant within 24 weeks from the date of randomization
* Blasts ≥ 5% in bone marrow if results available at screening or history of accelerated phase (AP) or leukemic transformation
* History of a malignancy (other than MF, PPV-MF or PET-MF) in the past 3 years in need of systemic treatment
* Received any approved or investigational agent other tha…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
