Time frame
Baseline and Week 24. Baseline total score was the average of the daily total scores for the last 7 days prior to randomization. The Week 24 total score was the average of daily total scores from the 28 days prior to the Week 24 visit.

What was measured

Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using a modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) Version 2.0 diary. Using the diary, patients rated the following symptoms on a scale from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable): night sweats, itching, abdominal discomfort, pain under ribs on left, feeling of fullness (early satiety), and muscle/bone pain. The total symptom score ranged from 0-60 and was calculated as the sum of the 6 symptom scores. A higher score indicates worse symptoms.

Analysis population: ITT evaluable population included patients with Baseline data and who did not have a 0 total score at both Baseline \& Week 24; data measured after the cross over date were excluded. Patients who withdrew, met cross over criteria prior to Week 24 or had a 0 Baseline score \& a nonzero/missing score at Week 24 were considered not meeting the endpoint.

Groups in this outcome

Ruxolitinib

Participants began treatment with ruxolitinib 15 or 20 mg taken orally twice a day based on Baseline platelet count. The dose was adjusted by the Investigator based on efficacy and safety to a maximum of 25 mg twice daily.

Placebo

Placebo tablets matching ruxolitinib were administered orally twice a day at a starting dose based on Baseline platelet count. Doses were titrated using the same guidelines as for active drug. Patients meeting pre-specified requirements were given the opportunity to cross over to ruxolitinib treatment.
