Study summary

This is an open label, single arm trial of PTG-300 in subjects with PV who are newly diagnosed or for whom current therapy is not sufficient to control their hematocrit and have hematocrit >48% prior to dosing. The PTG-300 dose and schedule may be adjusted every 2 to 4 weeks to maintain hematocrit \<45% with a target of \<43%. Subjects may receive PTG-300 treatment for up to 52 weeks.

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

  1. Known diagnosis of polycythemia vera.
  2. Hematocrit >48% before dosing.
  3. Evidence of hematocrit >48% three or more times in the 28 weeks before dosing or five or more times in 52 weeks before dosing (except for newly diagnosed patients).
  4. Clinically reasonable alternative causes for erythrocytosis have been evaluated and excluded.
  5. (ECOG) performance status 0, 1 or 2.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. thrombosis (e.g., deep vein thrombosis or splenic vein thrombosis) within 3 months of Screening.
  2. Active or chronic bleeding within 4 weeks of Screening.
  3. Meets the criteria for post-PV myelofibrosis as defined by the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT).
  4. Infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antimicrobial therapy, or opportunistic infection within 3 months of dosing; any infection requiring systemic antimicrobial therapy within 4 weeks of dosing. Prophylactic antibiotics are allowed.
  5. Any serious or unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would prevent, (as judged by the Investigator) the subject from properly providing or any condition which would jeopardize compliance with the study.
  6. Known primary or secondary immunodeficiency.
  7. Known positive for active , or (HIV) infection.
  8. Any surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia within 1 month prior to Screening or planned elective surgery during the study.
  9. History of invasive within the last 2 years, except non-melanoma skin cancer and localized curatively treated prostate cancer or cervical cancer.
  10. Current or recent history of alcohol dependence or illicit drug use within 1 year prior to Screening.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Ran from Feb 2021 to primary completion in Mar 2023, 25 months.

Of 44 phase 2 interventional studies under Polycythemia Vera, half reached primary completion within 81 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 40 and three quarters within 135. This study's 25 months is below that.

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 Mar 18, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
