Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
SB939 is designed to change the DNA (genetic material) of cancer cells. This may keep the cells from growing and cause them to die.
This is the first study in which SB939 is given to patients with myelofibrosis.
Study Drug Administration:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take SB939 by mouth 3 times a week for the first 3 weeks of every 4-week cycle. In some cases, the study doctor may decide your dose can be raised sometime after Cycle 1.
SB939 can be taken at any time of day, 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal. You should take SB939 at about the same time each day. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules.
If you have any side effects, the doctor may change the amount or how often you take SB939.
You will fill out a study drug diary to keep track of your SB939 doses. You should bring the diary and all used and unused bottles of study drug with you to every study visit.
Study Visits:
At every study visit, you will be asked about any side effects you have had and any drugs you may be taking.
On Day 1 of Cycle 1 (+/- 3 days):
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* You will be asked about any blood transfusions you have had and drugs you have taken since the last visit.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
* You will have an ECG before taking this medication, about 10 minutes after taking medication, and 4-6 hours after taking medication.
On Day 8 of Cycle 1 (+1-3 days), blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
On Day 15 of Cycle 1 (+/- 3 days):
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
* You will have an ECG before taking this medication, about 10 minutes after taking medication, and 4-6 hours after taking medication.
On Day 22 of Cycle 1 (+1-3 days), blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
On Day 1 of Cycles 2 and 3 (+/- 3 days):
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* You will be asked about any blood transfusions you have had since the last visit.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
* You will have an ECG.
On Day 1 of Cycles 4 and beyond (+/- 3 days), or every 3 cycles starting on Day 1 of Cycle 6 (+/- 3 days) if the doctor decides your schedule can change (if you have not had serious side effects):
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* You will be asked about any blood transfusions you have had and drugs you have taken since the last visit.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
* You will have a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to check the status of the disease, if the doctor thinks it is needed.
* You will have an ECG at every visit to MD Anderson.
If your study visit schedule is changed to every 3 cycles (Day 1 of Cycles 6, 9, and so on), blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests every 28 days (+/- 3 days). These tests will be done at your local doctor's office. Every 28 days (+/- 3 days), the study staff will also call you to ask how you are doing and if you have had any side effects.
You may have additional bone marrow biopsies and aspirations and ECGs any time the doctor thinks it is needed. The study visits may also occur more often than described above, if the doctor thinks it is needed.
Length of Study:
You may continue taking the study drug for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you need radiation therapy, surgery, or other chemotherapy.
Your participation on the study will be over once you have completed the end-of-treatment visit and follow-up.
End-of-Treatment Visit:
After you stop taking the study drug for any reason, the following tests and procedures will be performed:
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* You will be asked about any blood transfusions you have had and drugs you have taken since the last visit.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
* You will have a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to check the status of the disease, if the doctor thinks it is needed.
Follow-up:
The study staff will call you 30 days and 60 days after your last dose of the study drug (+/- 3 days). You will be asked how you are doing and if you have had any side effects.
If you have any side effects within 60 days after you stop taking the study drug, you may have extra tests and procedures. For example, blood (about 2 teaspoons) may be drawn for routine tests. If you are still having side effects, the study staff will continue calling you to ask how you are doing until the side effects get better. The schedule for how often you are called will depend on the side effects.
This is an investigational study. SB939 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only.
Up to 41 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at the University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Must be diagnosed with Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) or Post-Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Myelofibrosis (MF) Post-Polycythemia Vera (PV) MF with intermediate-1, intermediate -2 or high risk disease according to the International Working Group (IWG) prognostic scoring system, or if with low risk disease then with symptomatic splenomegaly that is equal to or greater than 5 cm below left costal margin by physical exam.
3. Must have adequate organ function as demonstrated by the following: • alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGOT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGPT) equal to or less than 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), \[unless upon judgment of the treating physician, it is believed to be due to extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) related to MF\] • Total bilirubin equal to or less than 1.5 times ULN • Serum creatinine equal to or less than 2.5 mg/dL
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, 1, or 2
5. At least 2 weeks from prior MF-directed treatment (till the start of study drug)
6. Treatment-related toxicities from prior therapies must have resolved to Grade equal to or less than 1
7. No other active malignancies.
8. Females of childbearing potential (a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)).must have negative pregnancy test.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Known positive status for HIV, or known active hepatitis A, B, or C infection.
3. Any serious medical condition or psychiatric illness that would prevent, (as judged by the treating physician) the subject from signing the informed consent form or any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.
