Safety and efficacy of zinpentraxin alfa as monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis: stage I of a phase II trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pentraxin 2 (PTX-2; serum amyloid P component), a circulating endogenous regulator of the inflammatory response to tissue injury and fibrosis, is reduced in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Zinpentraxin alfa (RO7490677, PRM-151) is a recombinant form of PTX-2 that has shown preclinical antifibrotic activity and no dose-limiting toxicities in phase I trials. We report results from stage 1 of a phase II trial of zinpentraxin alfa in patients with intermediate-1/2 or high-risk MF. Patients (n=27) received intravenous zinpentraxin α weekly (QW) or every 4 weeks (Q4W), as monotherapy or an additional therapy for patients on stable-dose ruxolitinib. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR; investigatorassessed) adapted from International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment criteria. Secondary endpoints included modified Myeloproliferative Neoplasm-Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS) change, bone marrow (BM) MF grade reduction, pharmacokinetics, and safety. ORR at week 24 was 33% (n=9/27) and varied across individual cohorts (QW: 38% [3/8]; Q4W: 14% [1/7]; QW+ruxolitinib: 33% [2/6]; Q4W+ruxolitinib: 50% [3/6]). Five of 18 evaluable patients (28%) experienced a ≥50% reduction in MPN-SAF TSS, and six of 17 evaluable patients (35%) had a ≥1 grade improvement from baseline in BM fibrosis at week 24. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were grade 1-2, most commonly fatigue. Among others, anemia and thrombocytopenia were infrequent (n=3 and n=1, respectively). Treatment-related serious AE occurred in four patients (15%). Overall, zinpentraxin alfa showed evidence of clinical activity and tolerable safety as monotherapy and in combination with ruxolitinib in this open-label, non-randomized trial (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT01981850).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
