Study Summary

"This trial aims to test a new drug, pacritinib, in adults and children with Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or Myelodysplastic/myelop

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children (12-17 years) and adults (18+ years) with blood disorders called Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. Participants must be able to undergo various medical tests, including a bone marrow biopsy, and commit to an up-to-8-year study period with regular clinic visits.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing pacritinib, a capsule taken orally twice daily in 28-day cycles. It's aimed at treating MDS and MDS/MPN by inhibiting certain enzymes that may affect these conditions. Dosages will vary among participants who are monitored over time through clinic visits and repeated tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the specific side effects of pacritinib aren't listed here, kinase inhibitors like it can commonly cause fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, muscle pain, rash or changes in blood pressure. Side effects depend on individual reactions to the medication.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: 2/Phase II - AdultExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Low-risk cohort (cohort 2): Initiated on pacritinib 100 mg BID. After three cycles, pacritinib dose escalated to 200 mg BID, the adult phase II recommended dose, if not in complete remission.High-risk cohort (cohort 3): Initiated on pacritnib 200 mg BID, the adult phase II recommended dose.
Group II: 1/Phase I - PediatricExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Escalating doses of pacritinib (cohort 1)
