PAXIS: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Dose-finding Phase 2 Study (Part 1) Followed by an Open-label Period (Part 2) to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Pacritinib in Patients With VEXAS Syndrome

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (40) locations...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

This study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of pacritinib in patients with VEXAS (i.e., Vacuoles in myeloid progenitors, E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory manifestations, and somatic) syndrome. 78 patients will be enrolled, randomized to either pacritinib dose A, pacritinib dose B + placebo, or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by prescribed GC dose on the day of randomization.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Documented evidence of a pathogenic mutation at methionine-41 (M41) or neighboring splice site mutation (c.118-1, c.118-2) position in UBA1 mutation based on myeloid next-generation sequencing (NGS) droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR), or Sanger sequencing in peripheral blood or bone marrow samples.

• Current or documented evidence of past involvement within 6 months prior to enrollment of at least one of the following organ systems by VEXAS syndrome: cutaneous (e.g., neutrophilic dermatosis, cutaneous vasculitis), vasculature (e.g., vasculitis), musculoskeletal (e.g., chondritis, arthritis), ocular (e.g., uveitis, scleritis), periorbital (e.g. periorbital edema), genitourinary (e.g., epididymitis), or pulmonary (e.g., alveolitis).

• Receiving ongoing GC therapy (stable prednisone or prednisolone dose of 15-45 mg/day) leading up to enrollment. Note that patients who are stable on GC doses of 10-14 mg/day in addition to another non-GC anti-inflammatory therapy at Screening who have a previously documented VEXAS flare on a GC dose \>=10mg/day may be eligible provided that their GC dose is escalated to 15-45 mg/day after washout.

• Karnofsky Performance Status ≥50%

• Adequate organ function, meeting all the following criteria within 30 days prior to enrollment:

‣ Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

⁃ Total bilirubin ≤4 × ULN (≤8 × ULN in the setting of Gilbert's syndrome)

⁃ Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula

⁃ Absolute neutrophil count ≥500/μL

⁃ Prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 × ULN (unless prolonged due to therapeutic anticoagulation)

⁃ Partial thromboplastic time (PTT) or activated PTT ≤1.5 × ULN (unless prolonged due to therapeutic anticoagulation)

⁃ Platelet count ≥25 × 10\^9/L

⁃ Peripheral blasts \<5%

• Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 30 days prior to enrollment and a negative urine pregnancy test on Day 1 prior to randomization and dosing.

• WOCBP and male patients must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception starting at the first dose of study therapy through 90 days after the last dose of study therapy.
