Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an alternative dosing strategy of ruxolitinib in subjects with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera-myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) and post essential thrombocythemia-myelofibrosis (PET-MF) in order to minimize the development of anemia and thrombocytopenia.
This is a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective will be assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts <10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy will be enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count <10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, will be allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study will have 3 sequential parts. Subjects who are enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who complete the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) will continue in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determines that the subject is receiving clinical benefit on treatment.
Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a longterm disease in which the blood does not clot normally. This is due to a low number of blood cell fragments called platelets. Platelets clot to seal small cuts or breaks on blood vessel walls and stop bleeding. Normally the immune system makes proteins called antibodies to fight off harmful substances that enter the body. In ITP, the immune system produces antibodies that attack and destroy the body's platelets by mistake. Patients can suffer from bleeding under the skin, nosebleeds, blood in urine or stools and in very severe cases bleeding in the brain. Patients have an increased frequency of death from bleeding complications compared to normal. Chronic ITP is fairly rare , with an incidence of 32 new cases/million people each year. Existing treatments work by lowering the activity of the immune system or directly increasing platelet count. These treatments do not work effectively in all patients and can have side effects. We hope that understanding how belimumab works in ITP will help in the development of future treatments for ITP and other autoimmune diseases. We will test the safety, blood levels and effects of the study medication in people with chronic ITP. Patients will receive the study medication intravenously (through a needle inserted into a vein) and blood samples will be taken before and on several occasions afterwards. Up to 40 patients with chronic ITP, aged 18 to 75 will participate. Approximately 11 patients will take dummy medicine instead of the study medicine neither they or their study doctor will know which one they are given. Participants will take up to 57 weeks to finish the study. They'll make 12 outpatient visits. The study will take place in hospitals in the UK. Other sites in mainland Europe may also be initiated. A pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, is funding the study.
This study will assess safety as well as establish a Recommended Phase II dose of the combination of panobinostat and ruxolitinib in patients with or without the JAK2V617F mutation who have been diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), Post Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (PET MF), or Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (PPV MF).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally administered NS-018 in patients with Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post-polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (post-ET MF)
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), most notably polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) are a diverse but inter-related suite of clonal disorders of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (Tefferi et al., 2008). The MPN share a range of biological, pathological, and clinical features including the relative overproduction of one or more cells of myeloid origin, growth factor independent colony formation in vitro, marrow hypercellularity, extramedullary hematopoiesis, spleno- and hepatomegaly, and thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic diatheses (Tefferi et al., 2005). This is a multi-centre, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study, to be conducted in two phases: a dose-escalation phase (Part 1), to determine the safety and tolerability of momelotinib (CYT387), and to identify a therapeutic dose for the expanded cohort; and a dose-confirmation phase (Part 2), which will be a cohort expansion at or below the MTD of momelotinib. In the Part I dose-escalation phase of the study, subjects will be assigned to dose levels in successive cohorts starting with a dose in the first cohort of 200 mg BID (twice daily with doses taken approximately 12 hours apart). Doses will be escalated by 50 mg BID per cohort until dose-limiting toxicities are observed. The dose level at which ≥2 of 6 subjects develop a first cycle dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as the DLT level. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level below the DLT level. New dose levels may begin accrual only if all subjects at the current dose level have been observed for a minimum of 28 days from the first day of treatment. The dose level chosen for study in the dose confirmation phase of the study will be the MTD or a lower dose shown to have significant clinical activity (efficacy) as determined by the safety review committee. Subjects will be evaluated weekly for the first cycle, every 2 weeks during cycle 2, then monthly for 4 cycles for a total of 6 cycles. In the dose-confirmation phase of the study, approximately fifty (50) subjects will be treated at the MTD or at a lower dose shown to have significant clinical activity (efficacy) as chosen by the Safety Review Committee. In the dose confirmation phase of the study subjects will be evaluated every 2 weeks during the first treatment cycle, and then monthly for 5 cycles for a total of 6 cycles.

Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety of SAR302503. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in patients with PV who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea for inducing absence of phlebotomy eligibility. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in patients with ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea for reduction of platelet counts. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in inducing complete and partial responses beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit through Cycle 8. - To evaluate splenic response as measured by spleen volume using MRI or CT. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of SAR302503 after single and repeat doses. - To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of SAR302503 as measured by changes in JAK2V617F allele burden in patients with JAK2V617F mutation, and STAT3 phosphorylation inhibition. - To measure improvement in baseline myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated symptoms, as well as overall impact on quality of life. - To measure generic health-related quality of life and utility value using the EuroQol Group (EQ-5DTM) questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to find the appropriate dose of eltrombopag in thrombocytopenic CLL patients, that shortens the duration of the thrombocytopenia and achieves platelet count of ≥ 100/nl prior to the start of chemotherapy containing alkylating agents and/or Purine Analogues.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of INC424 as assessed by reduction in spleen volume in patients with primary myelofibrosis (MF), post-polycythemia vera (PV) MF, or post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) MF. The safety and tolerability of INC424 and the effects of INC424 on patient reported outcomes and the duration of response as assessed by reduction in spleen volume was also assessed.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity including quality of life of two types of low-dose interferon alpha compounds (PegIntron and Pegasys) with hydroxyurea (Hydrea), and to investigate the occurence of neutralizing antibodies against recombinant interferon.
