A Phase 3 Study of Rusfertide in Patients With Polycythemia Vera

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rusfertide in subjects with polycythemia vera (PV) in maintaining hematocrit control and in improving symptoms of PV.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

Intervention(s):

  • drug: Placebo
  • drug: Rusfertide

   randomization or at least 5 phlebotomies due to inadequate hematocrit control in 1
   year before randomization.

   - CBC values immediately prior to randomization:

      1. Hematocrit <45%,

      2. WBC 4000/μL to 20,000/μL (inclusive), and

      3. Platelets 100,000/μL to 1,000,000/μL (inclusive)

enrolled. There are additional exclusion criteria.

   - Clinically meaningful laboratory abnormalities at Screening.

   - Subjects who require phlebotomy at hematocrit levels lower than 45%.

   - Clinically significant thrombosis (e.g., deep vein thrombosis or splenic vein
   thrombosis) within 2 months prior to randomization.

   - Active or chronic bleeding within 2 months prior to randomization.

   - History of invasive malignancies within the last 5 years, except localized cured
   prostate cancer and cervical cancer.

   - Subjects with in situ or stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ or stage
   1 basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ melanoma of the skin identified during
   screen unless the cancer is adequately treated before randomization.
