2. To compare the efficacy of BID pacritinib with that of BAT, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 by MRI or CT and the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in the TSS from baseline to Week 24 on the MPN-SAF TSS 2.0. |
