Filter by: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.
Primary Objective: - Dose Ranging Phase: To evaluate the efficacy of daily oral doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg SAR302503 in patients with PV and ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea (per European LeukemiaNet criteria) for : - Inducing absence of phlebotomy and a hematocrit below 45% for a minimum of 3 months in patients with polycythemia vera, and - Reduction of platelet count to ≤400 x 10x9/L for a minimum of 3 months in patients with essential thrombocythemia. - PV Dose Expansion Phase and ET Dose Ranging Phase (only 600 mg dose group): To evaluate the efficacy of daily oral SAR302503 in patients with PV and ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea (per European LeukemiaNet criteria) for: - Inducing absence of phlebotomy eligibility beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 4 visit and continuing through Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit in patients with PV, and - Reduction of platelet count to ≤400 x 10x9/L beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 4 visit and continuing through Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit in patients with ET. 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 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.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the survival rates of patients with better risk disease undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to the survival rates reported in the medical literature of similar patients undergoing reduced intensity HSCT from matched related donors.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of simtuzumab (GS-6624) on bone marrow fibrosis either alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and post polycythemia vera or post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (ET/PV MF). The study is designed as a two-stage trial. In the stage 1, participants will be randomized into two cohorts to receive either 200 or 700 mg of study drug. In the stage 2, participants on ruxolitinib will be randomized to receive either 200 or 700 mg of study drug.
This study is hypothesis-generating to explore the impact of JAK2 (V617F) mutation status on the treatment response to anagrelide hydrochloride
To evaluate the effects of treatment with ruxolitinib (INCB018424) on spleen volume, symptoms and potential side effects in participants with PMF, PPV-MF and PET-MF who have platelet counts of 50 x 10^9/L to 100 x 10^9/L. It is anticipated that individualized dose optimization from the starting ruxolitinib level of 5 mg bid will be associated with reductions in splenomegaly, MF-associated symptoms and inflammatory cytokine levels.
This research is looking at two conditions, Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) and Polycythemia Vera (PV). ET causes people to produce too many blood cells called platelets and PV causes too many platelets and red blood cells to be made. Platelets are particles which circulate in the blood stream and normally prevent bleeding and bruising. Having too many platelets in the blood increases the risk of developing blood clots, which can result in life threatening events like heart attacks and strokes. When the number of red blood cells is increased in PV this will slow the speed of blood flow in the body and increases the risk of developing blood clots. The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of giving participants who have been diagnosed with ET or PV one of two different study regimens over time. The study subject will be followed for their condition for about 5 years. The subject will be randomized into one of two study regimens, either Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a (PEGASYS) or Aspirin and Hydroxyurea (also called Hydroxycarbamide). The subject must be newly diagnosed or already receiving treatment for either PV or ET. Each of the study drugs used in this study is already being used to treat subjects with ET or PV currently, but the investigators are unsure which study drug is better.
The aim of this research is to look at two conditions, Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) and Polycythemia Vera (PV). ET causes people to produce too many blood cells called platelets and PV causes too many platelets and red blood cells to be made. Platelets are particles which circulate in the blood stream and normally prevent bleeding and bruising. Having too many platelets in the blood increases the risk of developing blood clots, which can result in life threatening events like heart attacks and strokes. When the number of red blood cells is increased in PV this will slow the speed of blood flow in the body and increases the risk of developing blood clots. It is important for patients with ET or PV who are at risk of blood clots to receive drugs which will minimize the risks of developing these blood clots but at the moment the investigators are not sure which drugs will best control the disorder. The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of giving patients who have been diagnosed with ET and PV a study drug regimen using Aspirin and PEGASYS (also known as Pegylated interferon alfa-2a, instead of the standard treatment drug called Hydroxyurea (or hydroxycarbamide or Hydroxyurea), for whom this drug may not be suitable. The drug may not be suitable either because it is not adequately controlling the number of blood cells or some specific side effects occur.
