Talazoparib in Combination with Pacritinib for the Treatment of Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Unresponsive to Frontline JAK2 Inhibition

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of talazoparib in combination with pacritinib in treating patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms that did not respond to frontline JAK2 inhibitors. Talazoparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP may prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Pacritinib is in a class of medications called JAK2 inhibitors. Some specific gene changes in blood cells can send faulty signals to the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside the bones, and lead to myeloproliferative neoplasms. Pacritinib can interrupt these signals that may be causing the myeloproliferative neoplasms. Giving talazoparib together with pacritinib may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms that did not respond to frontline JAK2 inhibitors.
