Fedratinib combined with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in patients with myelofibrosis (FEDORA): study protocol for a multicentre, open-label, Bayesian phase II trial by McIlroy, G, Gaskell, C, Jackson, A, Yafai, E, Tasker, R, Thomas, C, Fox, S, Boucher, R, Ghebretinsea, F, Harrison, C, Mead, AJ, McMullin, MF

“…The primary outcome is tolerability, whereby the combination is deemed intolerable in a patient if drug-related toxicities in the first four months of treatment lead to: either drug being discontinued; delays in treatment exceeding 28 consecutive days; or death. FEDORA uses a within-patient dose escalation regimen to ensure each patient reaches a personalised dose combination that is acceptable. …”
