Hepcidin Mimetic in Patients With Polycythemia Vera

NCT04057040

Description:

This is a Phase 2 study with an open-label dose escalation phase followed by a blinded withdrawal phase and an open label extension. The study is designed to monitor the PTG-300 safety profile and to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of PTG-300 for the treatment of phlebotomy-requiring polycythemia vera.

Purpose

This is a Phase 2 study with an open-label dose escalation phase followed by a blinded withdrawal phase and an open label extension. The study is designed to monitor the PTG-300 safety profile and to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of PTG-300 for the treatment of phlebotomy-requiring polycythemia vera.

Detailed Description

      Phase 2 study in approximately thirty subjects previously diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera
      who require phlebotomy on a routine basis. There is a 16 week dose finding phase followed by
      a dose stabilization phase. Subjects who successfully complete dose stabilization will be
      entered into a 12 week randomized withdrawal phase to confirm the response. Subsequently
      patients will enter into a 1 year open label extension to investigate long term safety.
