ArmTypeDescription
Arm 1: Pelabresib + RuxolitinibEXPERIMENTALParticipants in this arm receive pelabresib (DAK539) orally once daily for 14 days of each 21-day cycle, in combination with ruxolitinib, which is taken orally twice daily throughout each cycle. Participants may continue receiving study treatment until they experience unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until either the investigator or the participant decides to discontinue treatment.
Arm 2: Placebo + RuxolitinibPLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants in this arm receive a matching placebo orally once daily for 14 days of each 21-day cycle, together with ruxolitinib, which is also taken orally twice daily throughout each cycle. Participants may continue receiving study treatment until they experience unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or until either the investigator or the participant decides to discontinue treatment.
PelabresibEXPERIMENTALAll eligible participants will receive continued treatment with pelabresib as administered in the relevant parent study. Participants previously enrolled in studies with pelabresib who discontinued treatment with placebo or pelabresib may be enrolled in this extension study for the purpose of survival follow-up.

Group 1 (normal hepatic function)EXPERIMENTALPart 1: Participants receive pelabresib 125 mg orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 14 days, followed by a 7-day break (1 cycle = 21 days). If clinical benefit is observed, treatment continues in Part 2 until end of study (EOS), discontinuation criteria, or alternative access.
Group 2 (moderate or severe HI)EXPERIMENTALPart 1: Participants receive pelabresib 125 mg orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 14 days, followed by a 7-day break (1 cycle = 21 days).
