Active clinical trials for "Polycythemia Vera"

Interferon alfa is an effective treatment of polycythemia vera (PV), but about 20% of patients discontinue their treatment because of side effects and treatment schedule (three times per week administration). The pegylated form of interferon alfa-2a has shown a better tolerance in hepatitis patients and is administered only once a week. The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon alfa-2a in the treatment of PV patients.

The study consists of two phases: The first portion of the study is a Phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of SB1518 when given as a single agent orally once daily in subjects with Chronic Idiopathic Myelofibrosis (CIMF) regardless of their JAK2 mutational status. The second portion of the study is a Phase 2 study to define the efficacy and safety profile of single agent SB1518 at the recommended dose in subjects with CIMF.

The purpose of this multicenter observational prospective cohort study is to examine changes in QoL and symptoms in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) during treatment with ruxolitinib (Ruxo), and to evaluate efficacy and safety of Ruxo in a real-world setting

This is a multicenter prospective and retrospective observational clinical study in patients with primary or post polycythemia vera or post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis to test the efficacy of fedratinib in the rea world. Participants will be managed according to the clinical practice of the participating Center. All Centers will be Italian Hematology Units belonging to the GIMEMA Organization in Italy.

This is a two-part, multicenter, open label, non-randomized, phase Ib/II study to assess the safety and tolerability, Maximum Tolerated Dose and preliminary efficacy of Givinostat in patients with JAK2V617F positive Polycythemia Vera. Part A is the dose finding part while Part B is assessing the preliminary efficacy. Patients will be enrolled either in Part A or Part B and transition from one part to the other is not allowed. Eligible patients for this study will have a confirmed diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera according to the revised World Health Organization criteria. Only if the enrolment in Part A is slow (i.e. < 5 patients enrolled in 3 months), eligibility for this part of the study may be expanded to all patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. Study therapy will be administered in 28 day cycles (4 weeks of treatment). Disease response will be evaluated according to the European LeukemiaNet criteria after 3 and 6 cycles (i.e. at weeks 12 and 24, respectively) of treatment with Givinostat for both parts of the study. All phlebotomies performed in the first 3 weeks of treatment will not be counted to assess the clinico-haematological response. The study will last up to a maximum of 24 weeks of treatment. However, after completion of the trial, all patients achieving clinical benefit will be allowed to continue treatment with Givinostat (at the same dose and schedule) in a long-term study. Safety will be monitored at each visit throughout the entire duration of the study. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis and patients will be followed regularly with physical and laboratory tests, as specified in the protocol; in case of hospitalization, the treatment will be continued or interrupted according to the Investigators' decision.

This is a Phase 2b open label study of an orally administered LSD1 inhibitor, IMG-7289, in patients with myelofibrosis. This study investigates the following: The safety and tolerability of IMG-7289 The pharmacokinetics of IMG-7289 (performed in Phase 1/2a only) The pharmacodynamic effect of IMG-7289

A phase I-II study in patients with mutated MPN by vaccinating with PD-L1 and Aginase1 peptides with Montanide ISA-51 as adjuvant, to monitor the immunological response to vaccination and subsequently safety, toxicity and clinical effect.

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.

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.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if SB939 can help to control myelofibrosis. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
