Change in Spleen Volume at Week 24 Compared to Baseline |
Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan in participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. The MRIs or CTs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred. A positive value indicates an increase in spleen volume and a negative value indicates a decrease in spleen volume. |

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) |
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether considered drug related, that occurs after a participant provides informed consent. A TEAE is any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug. An SAE is an AE resulting in: death; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. |

Change From Baseline Through Week 12 in SVR as Measured by MRI (or CT Scan in Applicable Participants) |
Spleen volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (or CT scan in applicable participants). MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis was performed, to assess spleen volumes. MRI was performed with a body coil. The MRIs were read in the central imaging laboratory. Spleen volume was obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and determining the volume using the technique of least squares. MRI was the preferred method for obtaining spleen volume data. The CT scans were processed by the same central laboratory used for MRIs. The same method (MRI or CT) was used for a given participant unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) occurred. |

Change From Baseline Through Week 12 and Week 24 on Spleen Length as Measured by Palpation |
Measurement of spleen length below the left costal margin was measured by palpation. Spleen size was determined at every physical examination with the participant in the recumbent (not left decubitus) position. The edge of the spleen was determined by palpation, and measured in centimeters, using a soft ruler, from the costal margin to the point of greatest splenic protrusion. The measurements should be noted and the site at which it was determined listed (eg, anterior axillary line, midclavicular line, and/or subxiphoid). A positive value indicates an increase in spleen volume and a negative value indicates a decrease in spleen volume. |

Change From Baseline Through Week 12 and Week 24 in Total Symptom Score as Measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v2.0 Symptom Diary |
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using a modified MFSAF Version 2.0 diary. Using the diary, participants rated the following symptoms on a scale from 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be): itching, night sweats, abdominal discomfort/bloating, early satiety, pain under the ribs on left side and bone/muscle 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. |

Symptoms are evaluated by the MPN-SAF TSS. The MPN-SAF TSS assessed by the participants themselves and this includes fatigue, concentration, early satiety, inactivity, night sweats, itching, bone pain, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and fevers. Scoring is from 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be) for each item. The MPN-SAF TSS is the summation of all the individual scores (0-100 scale). A higher score indicates worse symptoms. |

Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score at Each Visit |
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the PGIC questionnaire. Using the questionnaire, participants rated the overall sense of treatment effect on their symptoms on a scale of 1 (very much improved)- 7(very much worse). The specific wording was: Since the start of the treatment you have received in this study, your myelofibrosis symptoms are: 1) Very much improved, 2) Much improved, 3) Minimally improved, 4) No change, 5) Minimally worse, 6) Much worse, 7) Very much worse. A higher score indicates worse symptoms. |
