Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with a confirmed diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis or post-essential thrombocythemia/polycythemia vera related myelofibrosis who are at intermediate-2 or high risk and have previously failed JAK inhibitor therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not refractory or intolerant to JAK inhibitors or those with lower-risk myelofibrosis may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This open-label, phase II study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Reparixin in patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis, including those who are refractory or intolerant to Janus kinase inhibitors. A total of 26 patients will be enrolled and receive oral Reparixin three times daily for six 4-week cycles. If patients achieve stable disease, they may continue treatment once daily until disease progression or other specified criteria are met. The study aims to provide a new treatment option for patients who have limited alternatives.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with myelofibrosis who are not responding to existing therapies.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of myelofibrosis, similar studies targeting other myeloproliferative neoplasms have shown promise.

WCBP must also have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and Cycle 1 Day 1. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating, she should inform her treating physician immediately. (Section 5.9.2) o Men must agree to use a condom and not father a child or donate sperm for the duration of the study and for 120 days after the last dose of study therapy * Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and all protocol requirements Exclusion Criteria: * History of stroke, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication or mechanical control within the last 6 months * Other invasive malignancies within the last 3 years, except non-melanoma skin cancer and localized cured prostate and cervical cancer * Moderate or severe cardiovascular disease meeting one or both of the below criteria: * Presence of cardiac disease, including a myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study entry, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Association Class III/IV congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension * Documented major electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities (not responding to medical treatments) * Presence of active serious infection * Any serious, unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would prevent (as judged by the Investigator) the participant from signing the ICF or any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the participant at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study * Participants who have undergone a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) within 100 days of the first dose of study therapy, participants on immunosuppressive therapy post-HCT at screening, use of calcineurin inhibitors within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study therapy, or participants with clinically significant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) o Note: The use of topical steroids or \< 10mg oral prednisone for ongoing skin GVHD is permitted * Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or known active hepatitis A, B, or C infection * Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that could significantly alter the absorption of reparixin, including any unresolved nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea \> CTCAE grade 1 * Is or has an immediate family member (e.g., spouse, parent/legal guardian, sibling, or child) who is investigational site or sponsor staff directly involved with this trial, unless prospective institutional review board (IRB) approval (by chair or designee) is given allowing exception to this criterion for a specific participant * Organ transplant recipients other than bone marrow transplant * Women who are pregnant or lactating * History of splenectomy * Known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides o Hypersensitivity to sulphanilamide antibiotics alone (e.g. sulfamethoxazole) does not qualify for exclusion * Known hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), including ibuprofen
