An Open-Label, Randomized, Phase 2 Dose-Finding Study of Pacritinib in Patients With Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis Previously Treated With Ruxolitinib

This is a Bayesian adaptive dose-finding study in patients with primary or secondary
myelofibrosis:

1. who have failed therapy with ruxolitinib on the basis of intolerance or loss of
efficacy,

2. highly symptomatic (DIPSS risk score of Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 or High Risk, and
MPN-SAF TSS 2.0 of ≥10),

3. and have splenomegaly (assessed by physical examination).

Condition or disease: Primary Myelofibrosis/Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis/
Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis

Intervention/treatment: Drug-Pacritinib

Phase: Phase 2

The study is designed to support a pacritinib dosage selection decision. Three dosages will
be evaluated, with patients randomized 1:1:1 to pacritinib 100 mg QD, pacritinib 100 mg BID,
or pacritinib 200 mg BID. Randomization will be stratified by baseline platelet count
(≤50,000/µL; >50,000/µL and ≤100,000/µL; and >100,000/µL). Assigned treatment will continue
until the patient experiences progressive disease, intolerable AEs, withdraws consent, or
until the assigned treatment arm is closed. No study treatment crossover will be allowed. All
patients should complete all visit procedures through Week 24, including patients who stop
pacritinib treatment or have protocol-defined progressive disease prior to Week 24, unless
patient withdraws consent, dies, undergoes splenic irradiation or splenectomy, or initiates
any non-protocol-directed anti-myelofibrosis treatment. The maximum duration of trial
participation for an individual patient will be approximately 36 months. The Following the
Week 24 assessment, patients who are benefiting from therapy and who have not experienced
progressive disease will be allowed to continue receiving pacritinib at the original
randomized dose or following the dose recommendations of the Independent Data Monitoring
Committee (IDMC), and will be followed for survival, efficacy and safety for up to 2.5 years.

The Sponsor will collect PK samples from all patients in each dosing arm at the end of Week
12 and Week 24 at the following timepoints: 0 hours (predose), 4 hours postdose (±10
minutes), and 8 hours postdose (±15 minutes). In addition, PD samples will be collected on
Day 1 (Baseline), Week 12, and Week 24 at 0 hours (predose). DNA samples will also be
collected for analysis of mutations associated with myelofibrosis at baseline and Week 24.

This study will utilize planned frequent monitoring by an IDMC. The first meeting will occur
once 18 patients have been randomized and will meet approximately quarterly thereafter. To
minimize the patient exposure to minimally effective dosages, an interim analysis of the
primary efficacy and safety data will be performed to allow an earlier decision to
discontinue an arm that is unlikely to achieve at least 10% SVR at Week 24. The interim
analysis will be performed when 6 patients per arm have completed the Week 12 evaluations and
have evaluable spleen volume data by MRI or CT.

IDMC will review efficacy and safety data, including interim analysis, and make
recommendations on:

1. Closing treatment arm(s) and expanding enrollment in remaining treatment arm(s)

2. Pausing enrollment due to cardiac or hemorrhage adverse events

3. Dosage for further clinical studies

Inclusion Criteria:

1. PMF, PPV-MF, or PET-MF (as defined by Tefferi and Vardiman 2008)

3. Prior ruxolitinib treatment with failure to benefit or intolerance as defined by at
least one of the following:

physical examination or regrowth to these parameters following an initial
response; and/or
