About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study of Oral CEP-701 in Patients With Polycythemia Vera or Essential Thrombocytosis With the JAK2 V617F Mutation

This is an 18-week open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of CEP-701 (lestaurtinib) treatment in patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV) and patients with Essential Thrombocytosis (ET).

Read the detailed description

This is an 18-week open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of CEP-701 (lestaurtinib) treatment at a dosage of 80 mg bid for 18 weeks (126 days) in patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV) who have abnormal baseline neutrophil counts or require hydroxyurea therapy and patients with Essential Thrombocytosis (ET) who require hydroxyurea therapy for disease control.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. - improvements in hemoglobin values, neutrophil count, and platelet count. - reduction in dose of hydroxyurea - reduction in splenic enlargement - rate of phlebotomy

    Measured: 18 weeks +

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing lestaurtinib in people with Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocytosis, run by Cephalon at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine whether a specific reduction in the JAK2 V617F allele has been indicated in this study. (time frame: 18 weeks +). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00586651, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2015.
