View clinical trials related to Polycythemia.
Filter by:Polycythemia (PG) corresponds to an increase in erythrocyte parameters on a blood test. A distinction is usually made between primary and secondary PG. The most common primary PG is Vaquez's disease, a hematological cancer. In Vaquez disease, an increase in hematocrit has been reported to be associated with a logarithmic increase in blood viscosity. The main complications of primary PGs (especially in Vaquez disease) are thromboembolic complications. In contrast, thromboembolic complications are rarer in secondary PG. In Vaquez disease, a hematocrit ≤ 45% has been defined as the therapeutic goal for significantly reducing thromboembolic risk. However, this has not been established for secondary PGs. All in all, the definition of the 45% threshold is based solely on clinical studies with no obvious biological argument. What's more, simply lowering blood mass through cytoreduction alone does not appear to be sufficient to significantly reduce thromboembolic risk. To investigator knowledge, there are no studies prospectively evaluating blood viscosity, its determinants and coagulation in different types of polycythemia. Nor are there any data on the direct effect on blood viscosity of the various treatments usually offered.
Study GLB-001-02 is a phase 1, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary efficacy of GLB-001 in study participants with relapsed or refractory or intolerant myeloid malignancies including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), myelofibrosis (MF), lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study consists of 3 parts, dose escalation (Phase 1a), dose exploration (Phase 1b) and dose expansion (Phase 1c). Dose escalation (Phase 1a) and dose exploration (Phase 1b) will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary efficacy of GLB-001, administered orally, in study participants with PV/ET, or study participants with MF/LR-MDS/HR-MDS/AML, respectively. Dose expansion (Phase 1c) will be followed to determine the relationships among dose, exposure, toxicity, tolerability and clinical activity, to identify minimally active dose, and to select the recommended dose(s) for phase 2 study. Approximately 108 study participants may be enrolled in the study.
Adult patients (>18 years) with newly diagnosis of Ph negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) according to WHO 2016 criteria, will be recruited to this study. This study is the result of the collaboration the Hematology Division of Federico II University Medical School of Naples (Italy), that performed the US investigation and the IRCCS SYNLAB SDN where the patients carried out MR. The study is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. All subjects gave informed consent to receive both US and MR scans of the spleen. All spleen US scans were performed by the same operator (with>10 years of experience in abdominal US), who used an EPIQ 5 Philips instrument with a 1-5 MHz broadband curvilinear probe. The spleen was scanned in patients who were fasting, in the longitudinal and transverse planes by using an intercostal approach, a subcostal approach, or both. The patient was placed in a supine or right-sided position until complete organ visualization was achieved. Perimeter, longitudinal diameter (LD), and area, defined as the maximum measurements with splenic borders and angles clearly defined, were measured, and SV (in milliliters) was calculated automatically. For each subject, the mean value of 3 measurements repeated on the same imaging session was calculated and recorded for final analysis. Within two weeks from the US, each patient underwent an MRI of the upper abdomen to evaluate the splenic volume. MRI examinations were performed using a 3T Biograph mMR scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with 4-channel flex phased-array body coil. Routine clinical abdominal MRI acquisition includes coronal T2W Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-shot Turbo spin Echo imaging (HASTE), axial T1 Dual-echo FSE, axial T2 TSE Fat Sat, and an axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The DWI includes an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map that was automatically generated at the time of acquisition. At last, an isotropic 2mm3 axial Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) sequence for SV evaluation was acquired. For the latter, attention was paid to optimize the field of view to the spleen, in order to reduce patient's apnea and possible respiratory artifacts. A radiologist with mote than 10 years of experience in abdominal MRI reporting performed measurement of the three orthogonal diameters of the spleen for each patient. Subsequently, SV was calculated using ITK-SNAP software and semi-automatic 3D segmentation approach, firstly based on a signal threshold.
Prospective study for functional and phenotypic characterization of monocytes in philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms
The primary purpose of the study is to transition participants into an extension study to collect long-term safety and efficacy data. The study will include participants who are safely tolerating bomedemstat, receiving clinical benefit from its use in estimation of the investigator, and have shown the following criteria: - Participants from the IMG-7289-202/MK-3543-005 (NCT05223920) study must have received at least 6 months of treatment with bomedemstat; - Essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV) participants from studies other than IMG-7289-202/MK-3543-005 must have achieved confirmed hematologic remission. No hypothesis testing will be conducted in this study.
AJX-101 is a first-in-human (FIH), phase 1, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label clinical trial designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), clinical activity and changes in biomarkers of an orally administered type II JAK2 inhibitor, AJ1-11095, in subjects with primary or secondary myelofibrosis previously treated with at least one type I JAK2 inhibitor.
To learn if tasquinimod either alone or in combination with ruxolitinib can help to control PMF, post-PV MF, or post-ET MF.
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, two-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of ropeginterferon alfa-2b for patients with low-risk PV. Approximately 110 patients with low-risk PV will be enrolled. The whole study period is 108 weeks, including a main treatment phase (56 weeks), an extension treatment phase (48 weeks), and a safety follow-up phase (four weeks).
This is a multicentric, observational, retro-prospective study in adult PV patients - resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea - who are going to receive or have already initiated treatment with ruxolitinib according to the approved local label. Enrolment will last 9 months after the first enrolled patient. Patients will be observed for a minimum of 3 months, in order to evaluate the primary endpoint for all patients.
This is a prospective phase I dose-escalation study, with the primary objective to access the MTD and find the RP2D of talazoparib, given in combination with standard of care dosing of pacritinib.
