What this trial studies

This first-in-human, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 program tests oral PRT12396 in adults with high-risk polycythemia vera or myelofibrosis, including post-PV and post-ET MF with splenomegaly and documented JAK2 V617 mutation. Part 1 uses dose escalation to define safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose(s) for expansion; Part 2 enrolls additional participants at selected doses to further characterize safety and preliminary efficacy. Approximately up to 100 participants will be enrolled across both parts, with regular clinic visits, laboratory monitoring, and imaging to track spleen size, blood counts, adverse events, and drug levels. Participants must meet organ function, performance status, contraception, and other standard eligibility requirements.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with confirmed high-risk polycythemia vera or intermediate‑1/2 or high‑risk primary myelofibrosis (including post-PV or post-ET MF) who have a JAK2 V617 mutation, ECOG 0–2, adequate organ function, and the ability to attend study visits.

Not a fit: Patients without a JAK2 V617 mutation, with uncontrolled infection, recent other malignancy, significant organ dysfunction, or those who are pregnant or unwilling to use contraception are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, PRT12396 could provide a new oral treatment option that reduces spleen size and disease symptoms for some patients with high-risk PV or MF.

How similar studies have performed: This is a first-in-human trial of PRT12396, while other JAK-pathway targeting drugs (for example ruxolitinib) have improved symptoms and spleen size but have shown limited disease-modifying effects, so the ultimate benefit of this novel agent is unproven.

Eligibility criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of another malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment, except for malignancy considered cured with low risk of recurrence.
* Clinically significant anemia due to nutritional deficiency or hemolytic disorders.
* Active or uncontrolled infection requiring systemic therapy or hospitalization.
* Any other medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the Investigator's judgment, would increase risk or interfere with study participation or interpretation of results.
* Clinically significant or uncontrolled medical conditions, including active infection or cardiovascular disease, that would increase risk or interfere with study participation.

* Pregnancy or breastfeeding
* Known sensitivity or contraindication to any component of study, or the excipients of study treatment.
* Prior systemic therapy for PV or MF, prior or planned allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, recent major surgery, prior splenectomy or prior splenic irradiation, or use of hematopoietic growth factors within protocol-defined washout periods.
* Use of strong or moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor or inducer, sensitive CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic range, or acid-reducing agents that cannot be discontinued prior to study treatment.
* Participation in another interventional clinical study.
