A Phase 3 Study of Rusfertide in Patients With Polycythemia Vera

Study Purpose

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.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05210790
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 3

Additional Details

Phase 3 study in approximately 250 subjects previously diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV) who require phlebotomy on a routine basis. There is a 32-week period during which rusfertide or placebo will be added-on to each subject's ongoing therapy for polycythemia vera which may include phlebotomy only or phlebotomy plus stable doses of either of hydroxyurea, interferon and/or ruxolitinib. All subjects who successfully complete the double blind 32-week portion of the study will receive rusfertide for 124 weeks. Approximately 6 and 12 months after their last dose of rusfertide, subjects will have a post-study contact (e.g. by phone) for safety.
