Description:
9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity while not causing myelosuppression, and has both
pre-clinical anti-fibrotic activity and activity against myelofibrosis. This Phase 2 study
will study its efficacy in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.

Purpose
9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity while not causing myelosuppression, and has both
pre-clinical anti-fibrotic activity and activity against myelofibrosis. This Phase 2 study
will study its efficacy in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.
Detailed Description
9-ING-41 is a first-in-class, intravenously administered, maleimide-based, small molecule,
potent selective GSK-3β inhibitor with significant pre-clinical and clinical anticancer
activity. In the ongoing Actuate 1801 study in a cohort of over 90 patients with advanced
refractory malignancies, 9-ING-41 has exhibited no significant toxicity, including no
myelosuppression, and significant anti-tumor activity. 9-ING-41 also has significant
pre-clinical ability to reverse pathologic fibrosis in multiple models of pulmonary and
pleural fibrosis. Reversal of fibrosis by an anti-fibrotic agent in patients with advanced
myelofibrosis (MF) has recently been demonstrated to be of clinical benefit. 9-ING-41 has the
potential to act both as an anti-neoplastic agent (without causing myelosuppression) and an
anti-fibrotic agent in patients with MF. The efficacy of Ruxolitinib is limited in many
patients by the inability to tolerate adequate doses for an adequate duration with
myelosuppression being a frequent dose limiting toxicity. 9-ING-41 may reduce the dose of
Ruxolitinib needed for optimal therapeutic response and/or reverse myelosuppression so than
an adequate dose of Ruxolitinib can be tolerated. Pre-clinical data show synergy in MF
between 9-ING-41 and Ruxolitinib. This Phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of
9-ING-41, as a single agent or in combination with Ruxolitinib, in patients with advanced,
poor prognosis MF.

specified minimum intervals before first dose of 9-ING-41 (unless in the opinion of
the investigator and the study medical coordinator the treatments/procedures will not
compromise patient safety or interfere with study conduct:
- Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or systemic radiation therapy - 14 days maximum, or
≥ 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter)
- Surgery with general anesthesia - 7 days
8. Patients who are to receive 9-ING-41 plus Ruxolitinib must have attempted ≥12 weeks of
Ruxolitinib therapy and required dose reductions/interruptions and/or had an
inadequate response
9. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative baseline blood or urine pregnancy
test within 72 hours of first study therapy. Women may be neither breastfeeding nor
intending to become pregnant during study participation and must agree to use
effective contraceptive methods (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, or true
abstinence) for the duration of study participation and in the following 100 days
after discontinuation of study treatment
10. Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must take appropriate
precautions to avoid fathering a child from screening until 100 days after
discontinuation of study treatment and use appropriate barrier contraception or true
abstinence
11. Must not be receiving any other investigational product
Exclusion Criteria:
Patient -
