A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Assess Molecular Response of P1101 Therapy in Patients with Polycythemia Vera and Elevated Hematocrit: Results from 12-Month Core Study

Background: The treatment goals of Polycythemia Vera (PV) have been focused on reducing the thrombotic and hemorrhagic risks and preventing disease transformation.

Zusammenfassung:Background: The treatment goals of Polycythemia Vera (PV) have been focused on reducing the thrombotic and hemorrhagic risks and preventing disease transformation. A short-term way to confirm the effect of treatment is to check peripheral blood count remission. Recently, published researches have demonstrated that JAK2 driver mutation is associated with not only disease progression but hematologic response. Although it is still controversial whether a decrease in JAK2 mutation should be one of the treatment goals or not, the molecular response (MR) is frequently assessed in clinical trials. Moreover, the interest in treatment is moving toward disease modification. Ropeginterferon alfa-2b(P1101) showed it was more effective in achieving durable hematological and molecular remissions than hydroxyurea and well tolerated during long-term application. However, there are limited data on the clinical relevance of MR during P1101 and the efficacy and safety of P1101 in Eastern Asians. Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical and molecular response, and the association between efficacy and MR. In addition, the safety and tolerability of P1101 were also collected. Methods: This single-arm, open-label study has been performed in 16 hospitals in Korea. Patients were eligible if 19 years or older with PV diagnosed by WHO's 2016 criteria, requiring cytoreductive therapy and elevated hematocrit (Hct) (>45%). Patients were treated with P1101, S.C. q2w, at a starting dose of 250 µg, followed by 350 µg(week 2), 500 µg(week 4), and thereafter until week 48 (core study period). The JAK2 Val617Phe allele burden was assessed every 3 months. The chi-square test was used to determine any association between complete hematologic response (CHR) and MR using the Phi coefficient as a measure of strength association. Results: With a data cut-off date of 10 Jul 2023, a total of 99 patients were enrolled and 77 patients are under treatment including extension period in the study. Twenty patients dropped out including 2 patients due to adverse events and 2 patients completed core study. Total 95 patients were included in this analysis as FA (full analysis) set: 52 (54.7%) patients was HU-naïve and 43 (45.3%) patients was HU-resistant/intolerant(R/I). The median age was 58 years (range, 26-81) and 53.7% were male. The percentagesof patients with low and high risk were 56.8% and 43.2%, repectively. Until now, 94, 87, 79, and 60 patients were evaluable at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months,
