KRT-232 Compared to Ruxolitinib in Patients With Phlebotomy-Dependent Polycythemia Vera

Phase 2
Conditions
Polycythemia Vera
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03669965
Lead Sponsor
Kartos Therapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with phlebotomy-dependent polycythemia vera (PV). Inhibition of MDM2 in PV is a new mechanism of action in PV. In Part A, patients must be resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea or have undergone treatment with interferon. In Part B, patients must be resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea.

This study is a global, open-label Phase 2a/2b study to determine the efficacy and safety of KRT-232. In Part A of the study, patients will be randomly assigned to 5 arms with 2 different doses and 3 different dosing schedules of KRT 232. In Part B of the study, patients will be randomized either to treatment with KRT-232 administered at the recommended dose and schedule from Part A or to treatment with ruxolitinib.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients with splenomegaly achieving a response at Week 3232 weeks

Response defined as having achieved both of the following:

* The absence of phlebotomy eligibility beginning at the Week 8 visit and continuing through Week 32, with no more than one phlebotomy eligibility occurring post-randomization and prior to the Week 8 visit

* A reduction in spleen volume as assessed by MRI (or CT) ≥ 35% from baseline at Week 32

Secondary Outcome Measures
