A Study of Rusfertide in Japanese Adults With Polycythemia Vera
NCT0764803014 Jul 2026 to est. 17 May 2030
Registry summary
Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare blood cancer in which the body makes too many red blood cells. This can make the blood thicker and may increase the risk of serious health problems such as blood clots. Many people with PV need regular phlebotomy, which is a procedure to remove blood, to help keep their hematocrit level under control. Hematocrit is the proportion of red blood cells in the blood. The main aim of this study is to evaluate whether rusfertide helps Japanese participants with PV keep their hematocrit under control and avoid the need for phlebotomy. All participants in this study will receive rusfertide. This study is open-label, which means both the participants and the study team will know what treatment is being given. Participants will be followed for up to about 244 weeks, including a screening period, a 52-week initial treatment period, a long-term extension period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period.

Primary outcomes1
Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Response Starting at Week 20 through Week 32
Time frame · Week 20, up to Week 32
Registry description
Response is defined as absence of phlebotomy eligibility. Phlebotomy eligibility is defined as either: A confirmed hematocrit 45% or more and that is at least 3% (absolute) higher than the baseline hematocrit. Confirmation is defined as 2 consecutive hematocrit assessments that are 45% or more and at least 3% higher than the baseline hematocrit (if it is observed at Week 32, confirmation is not required). OR a hematocrit 48% or more.
Secondary outcomes(9)
