A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Pacritinib in Relapsed or Refractory Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
brief summary
This study is being done to examine the safety and effectiveness of pacritinib as a possible treatment for participants with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -Pacritinib (a type of kinase inhibitor)
detailed description
This is a single-arm, open-label, Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pacritinib in participants with symptomatic Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).
Pacritinib is a targeted therapy that blocks a protein called JAK2 that helps cells live and grow. It also inhibits IRAK1, which is important for the survival of WM cells. By blocking JAK2 \& IRAK1, pacritinib may kill abnormal cells or stop them from growing.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved pacritinib for WM but it has been approved for Myelofibrosis.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic visits, questionnaires, blood tests, urine tests, Computerized Tomography (CT) scans, X-rays, echocardiograms (ECGs), bone marrow biopsies and aspirations
Participants will receive study treatment for up to 4 years and will be followed for 2 years, or until there is start of a new treatment.
It is expected that about 30 people will take part in this research study.
