Conditions: Myeloproliferative Diseases
Keywords: polycythemia vera (PV) essential thrombocythemia (ET) myelofibrosis (MF)
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 29
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
Primary Objective:

To evaluate efficacy and safety of ITF2357 in the treatment of patients with JAK2V617F positive myeloproliferative diseases \[Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Thrombocytosis (ET), Myelofibrosis (MF)\]. Efficacy was evaluated by ad hoc haematological and clinical criteria for PV and ET, and by internationally established response criteria (EUMNET criteria) for MF. Safety was evaluated by number of subjects experiencing an Adverse Event (AE), type, frequency, severity, timing and relatedness of AEs, including changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results.

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the JAK2 mutated allele burden by quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRTPCR).

Detailed description:
This is a non-randomized, open-label, Phase IIA pilot study testing efficacy and safety of ITF2357 in a population of patients with JAK2V617F positive myeloproliferative diseases. All recruited patients received an initial dose of 50 mg b.i.d. of ITF2357 that was subsequently escalated to 50 mg t.i.d. in case of lack of significant toxicity. Treatment lasted up to a maximum of 24 cumulative weeks of drug administration. The study was carried out in Italy. Enrolled patients were subjects of both genders, with an established diagnosis of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF) according to the revised WHO criteria.

Arms:
arm 1: Initial dose of 50 mg b.i.d. that was subsequently escalated to 50 mg t.i.d in case of lack of significant toxicity.

Interventions: intervention 1: ITF2357
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 50 mg b.i.d. PO every day. More precisely, ITF2357 was supplied as 50 mg hard gelatine capsules for oral administration.
