Navitoclax + ruxolitinib (Cohort 1a)RuxolitinibParticipants must have received ruxolitinib for at least 12 weeks and on stable dose of ≥10 mg tablets orally twice daily (BID) for ≥8 weeks prior to the 1st dose of navitoclax. Navitoclax tablets are administered once daily (QD) at a starting dose of 50 mg. This was increased after approximately ≥7 days to next dose level if platelet count is ≥75 × 10\^9/L up to a maximum dose of navitoclax 300 mg QD. Participants will continue their treatment until end of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or they meet other protocol criteria for discontinuation (whichever occurs first).

Navitoclax tablets are administered once daily (QD) at a starting dose of 50 mg. This was increased after approximately ≥7 days to next dose level if platelet count is ≥75 × 10\^9/L up to a maximum dose of navitoclax 300 mg QD. Participants will continue their treatment until end of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or they meet other protocol criteria for discontinuation (whichever occurs first).
Navitoclax + ruxolitinib (Cohort 1b)RuxolitinibThose receiving ruxolitinib at Screening must be on a stable dose ≥10 mg tablets orally twice daily (BID) for ≥ 4 weeks prior to 1st dose of navitoclax. Those not receiving ruxolitinib at Screening received 10 mg ruxolitinib BID starting on Day 1. Navitoclax tablets were administered orally once daily (QD) per Baseline platelet count (\>150 × 10\^9/L starting dose of 200 mg; ≤150 × 10\^9/L starting dose of 100 mg, which could be increased to 200 mg QD after 7 days provided platelet count is ≥75 × 10\^9/L). Navitoclax didn't exceed 200 mg QD for first 24 weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With ≥ 35% Reduction From Baseline in Spleen Volume at Week 24Baseline, Week 24

Reduction in spleen volume is measured by magnetic resonance imaging/computerized tomography (MRI/CT).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 50% Reduction From Baseline in Total System Score (TSS) at Week 24Baseline, Week 24

TSS is assessed by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) version 4.0. Participants complete a symptom diary and rate the following seven MF symptoms: fatigue, night sweats, abdominal discomfort, pruritus, pain under the ribs on the left side, early satiety, and bone pain daily using a scale from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable), and the scores are averaged over 7 days, with a minimum of 4 days required to calculate the average score. Participants for whom a valid average score cannot be calculated either at baseline or post-baseline are considered non-responders. The TSS reflects the sum of the scores of these symptoms, for a maximum possible score of 70 (i.e., most severe symptom experience).

Percentage of Participants Achieving Anemia ResponseUp to 254 weeks

For a participant who is transfusion independent (TI) at Baseline with hemoglobin value \< 10 g/dL, anemia response is achieved if the post-Baseline hemoglobin level increases by ≥2 g/dL without receiving packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusion (for any reason) within 2 weeks and without any erythropoietin or mimetics within the last 4 weeks prior to the increase in hemoglobin level by ≥2g/dL was observed. Hemoglobin values more than 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or after the start of post-study treatment or disease progression, whichever is earlier, will not be considered in the analysis of anemia response.

For a participant who is transfusion dependent (TD) at Baseline, anemia response is defined as a period of at least 12 consecutive weeks without PRBC transfusion at any time after the first dose of study drug and on or prior to 30 days post last dose of study drug, the start of post-study treatment, disease progression or death, whichever occurs earlier.

Percentage of Participants With ≥ 1 Grade Reduction From Baseline in Fibrosis Grade At Any TimeUp to 254 weeks

Bone marrow grading is assessed according to the European Consensus Grading System. The 4-point grading scale ranges from MF-0, which corresponds to normal bone marrow, to MF-3, diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis.

Time to First Reduction in Fibrosis GradeUp to 254 weeks

Grade of bone marrow fibrosis was assessed by investigators according to the European Consensus Grading System. The 4-point grading scale ranges from MF-0, which corresponds to normal bone marrow, to MF-3, diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis. The time to first achieving a reduction of at least 1 grade in bone marrow fibrosis from Baseline was summarized.
