KRT-232 Versus Best Available Therapy for the Treatment of Subjects With Myelofibrosis Who Are Relapsed or Refractory to JAK Inhibitor Treatment

A Phase 2/3 interventional study of KRT-232 and Best Available Therapy (BAT) in Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post-Polycythemia Vera MF (Post-PV-MF) and Post-Essential Thrombocythemia MF (Post-ET-MF), sponsored by Kartos Therapeutics, Inc.. Recruiting at 191 sites in 28 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-04-28.

From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Dec 2023, 2 years 10 months ago, but the record still lists the study as recruiting.
  • Started Jan 2019; still recruiting 7 years 9 months later.

Study summary

This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) who no longer benefit from treatment with a JAK inhibitor. Inhibition of MDM2 is a novel mechanism of action in MF.

This study will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 2 will determine the KRT-232 recommended dose and dosing schedule; Phase 3 will test KRT-232 vs Best Available Therapy (BAT). Patients in the Phase 3 part of the study will be randomized 2:1 to receive either KRT-232 (Arm 1) or BAT (Arm 2). The BAT administered will be determined by the treating physician, with the option to "cross-over" to KRT-232 treatment after 6 months of BAT or if the disease worsens at any time.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Confirmed diagnosis of PMF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF (WHO)
  • High, intermediate-2, or intermediate-1 risk Dynamic International Prognostic System (DIPSS)
  • Failure of prior treatment with JAK inhibitor
  • ≤ 2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior splenectomy
  • Splenic irradiation within 3 months prior to randomization
  • History of major hemorrhage or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to randomization
  • History of stroke, reversible ischemic neurological defect or within 6 months prior to randomization
  • Prior MDM2 inhibitor therapy or p53-directed therapy
  • Prior stem-cell transplant or plans for allogeneic stem cell transplant
  • History of major organ transplant
  • Grade 2 or higher prolongation (> 480 milliseconds per criteria, version 5.0)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 28, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
