Study summary

This trial adopts an open, randomized, parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial design planning to enroll patients with polycythemia vera who are resistant/intolerant to hydroxyurea or interferon. The study divided into two stages: dose exploration stage: three dose groups are set, with three subjects in each group, totally nine subjects in each group; Dose expansion stage: Based on the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic results of the comprehensive dose exploration stage, 2-3 dose groups are planned to be selected for dose expansion stage.

Read the detailed description

The treatment goal of polycythemia vera is to avoid initial or recurrent thrombosis, control disease-related symptoms, prevent post PV MF and/or acute leukemia transformation after polycythemia vera. Almost all PV patients have non receptor type Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene mutations, typically JAK2 V617F. This drug is intended for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), mainly including moderate to high-risk myelofibrosis (FM) (including primary myelofibrosis (PMF)), post polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF), and post thrombocytopenia myelofibrosis (PET-MF), polycythemia vera (PV), and primary thrombocytosis (ET).

Flonoltinib Maleate (FM), a triple target inhibitor of JAK2/FLT3/CDK6, has the potential to inhibit JAK2 signaling pathway activity and treat bone marrow proliferative tumors.

This trial adopts an open, randomized, parallel controlled, multicenter clinical trial design. The plan is to recruit patients with polycythemia vera who are resistant/intolerant to hydroxyurea or interferon. The study is divided into two stages: dose exploration stage: three dose groups are tentatively set, with three subjects in each group,for a total of 9 subjects; Dose expansion stage: Based on the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic results of the comprehensive dose exploration phase, it is planned to select 2-3 dose groups for dose expansion stage.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(15)

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.

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.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

    Achieve HCT\<45% without undergoing Phlebotomy or apheresis treatmen

    Time frame: At the end of the week 28

Secondary outcomes

  1. The proportion of subjects who achieved complete hematological remission

    Without undergoing venous bloodletting or apheresis, achieve HCT\<45%, PLT \<= 400×10\^9/L, and WBC\<10×10\^9/L

    Time frame: week 28 and 52

  3. Changes in the total symptom score of MPN-SAF TSS scale

    The MPN-SAF-TSS is used to assess the symptom burden of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. The questionnaire also reflects the quality of life of patients to a certain extent. During the diagnosis and treatment process, the MPN-10 questionnaire includes 10 sub symptoms (fatigue, early satiety, abdominal discomfort, poor activity, lack of concentration, night sweats, skin itching, bone pain, fever, and weight loss). Each item is graded from 0 (none) to 10 (heaviest), with a total score of 0-100 points. The higher the total score, the heavier the symptom burden.

    Time frame: week 16, 28, 40, and 52

  4. Proportion of subjects who did not experience thrombosis or bleeding events

    Proportion of subjects who did not experience thrombosis or bleeding events at the end of treatment in weeks 28 and 52

    Time frame: week 28 and 52

  5. Changes in variant allele frequency to baseline

    Subjects with JAK2V617F quantification\>0% during the screening period will undergo JAK2V617F quantification testing at weeks 28 and 52
