Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
Primary
Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volume From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] (or Computed Tomography [CT] Scan in Applicable Participants)
Baseline; Week 24
Participants had an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to determine the spleen volume. A CT scan was substituted for participants who were not candidates for MRI or when MRI was not readily available. Determination of spleen length below the left costal margin was measured by palpation, using a flexible ruler provided by the sponsor.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Had a ≥50% Reduction in Total Symptom Score (TSS) From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form v4.0 (MFSAF v4.0) DiaryBaseline; Week 24
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores.
SecondaryChange in TSS From Baseline to Week 24 as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 DiaryBaseline; Week 24
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
SecondaryTime to the First ≥50% Reduction in TSS as Measured by the MFSAF v4.0 DiaryBaseline; up to Week 24
Symptoms of myelofibrosis were assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 diary. The MFSAF v4.0 is composed of 7 individual symptom scores (fatigue, night sweats, itchiness, abdominal discomfort, pain under left ribs, early satiety, bone pain), each collected daily using a 0- (no symptoms) to 10-point (worst imaginable symptoms) scale. The daily TSS (0 to 70) is the sum of the 7 individual symptom scores collected on the same day. Higher TSS indicate more severe symptoms. The TSS was missing if there were any missing individual scores. Observations with missing dates were excluded from the analysis. The Baseline/Week 24 total score was defined as the average of the daily total scores from the last 7 days before the first dose of parsaclisib, placebo, or ruxolitinib/the Week 24 visit. The Baseline/Week 24 total scores was missing if there were ≥4 missing out of the 7 daily total scores.
SecondaryOverall Survivalup to 749 daysOverall survival was defined as the interval between the randomization date and the date of death due to any cause.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)up to 960 days
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until 30 to 35 days after the last dose of parsaclisib/matching placebo or ruxolitinib.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Any Grade 3 or Higher TEAEup to 960 days
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until 30 to 35 days after the last dose of parsaclisib/matching placebo or ruxolitinib. The severity of AEs was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grades 1 through 5. Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting instrumental activities of daily living (ADL). Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4: life-threatening urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: death related to AE.
SecondaryTime of Onset of a ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volumeup to 925 daysThe time to the first ≥35% reduction in spleen volume is defined as the time from randomization to the first time participants had ≥35% reduction in spleen volume.
SecondaryDuration of Maintenance of a ≥35% Reduction in Spleen Volumeup to 925 days
The duration of ≥35% reduction from Baseline in spleen volume was defined as the interval between the first spleen volume measurement that was a ≥35% reduction from Baseline and the date of the first measurement that was no longer a ≥35% reduction from Baseline.
