- For Phase 1: To determine the KRT-232 RP2D in combination with ruxolitinib [ Time Frame: 15 months ]Dose limiting toxicities will be used to establish the MTD of KRT-232 in combination with ruxolitinib. Subsequently, RP2D will be based on safety and efficacy data of the combination.
- For Phase 2:To determine the spleen volume reduction (SVR) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: 6 months after last patient enrolled ]The proportion of subjects achieving SVR of ≥ 35% at Week 24 by MRI/CT scan
- To determine spleen response [ Time Frame: 43 months ]The proportion of subjects achieving ≥35% SVR at any time point from Baseline while on study, as assessed by MRI (or by CT scan for applicable subjects)
- To determine the change in Total Symptom Score (TSS) based Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form version 4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) [ Time Frame: 43 months ]The percentage change in TSS as measured by the MFSAF v4.0 at any time point from Baseline while on study
