Overview

This is an open-label, Phase 2 study of bomedemstat (IMG-7289), an inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), in combination with JAK inhibition (JAKi) in patients with myelofibrosis.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Cohort A:

1. Patients refractory to, relapsed or intolerant of ruxolitinib as per one of the below:
   • Refractory is defined as <30% reduction in spleen length or <10% SVR compared to baseline having received ruxolitinib for ≥12 weeks prior to enrollment, AND on a stable dose for ≥8 weeks prior to starting investigational therapy
   • Relapsed is defined as an increase in spleen volume of ≥25% by MRI/CT from nadir, or, ≥100% in palpable spleen length from a baseline of 5 to 10 cm BLCM or, ≥50% increase in spleen length from a baseline spleen length ≥10 cm BLCM
   • Intolerance is defined as the development in patients treated with ruxolitinib for ≥28 days of:
     • Red blood cell transfusion requirement of 2 units/month for 2 months
     • Grade 3 thrombocytopenia, anemia, hematoma, and/or hemorrhage while on ruxolitinib treatment

Cohort B:

1. Patients who are JAK inhibitor naïve, AND:
   • Require MF-directed treatment, AND
   • Have measurable disease burden including one of the following:
     • Disease-related symptoms, determined by a MFSAF or MPN-SAF TSS of ≥10, or at least 2 symptoms with scores ≥3
     • Documented splenomegaly by physical exam, with spleen palpated ≥5 cm below the left costal margin

        Exclusion Criteria:
          1. Those with increased risk of bleeding, including any of the following:
               1. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≥1.3 x the local upper limit of
                  normal
               2. International normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.3 x the local upper limit of normal
               3. Known history of a platelet function disorder
               4. Other known bleeding disorder that is active at the time of screening (Von
                  Willebrand's disease, dysfibrinogenemia, hemophilia, etc.)
          2. History of splenectomy or prior splenic irradiation
          3. Use of an investigational agent within 14 days of study treatment (or at least 7
             half-lives of that agent, whichever is longer), prior to the first dose of bomedemstat
          4. Current use of monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitors (MAOIs)
          5. Uncontrolled, active infection

             effects of surgery
          7. Any other serious medical conditions that could compromise study participation, in the
             opinion of the investigator
          8. Known HIV infection or known, active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
          9. Concurrent second active and non-stable malignancy (patients with a concurrent second
             active but stable malignancy, i.e., non-melanoma skin cancers, are eligible)

             of these medications during treatment
         11. Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs
             chemically related to bomedemstat or LSD1 inhibitors (i.e., monoamine oxidase
             inhibitors; MAOIs) that contraindicates participation
