Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Evaluate PTG-300's efficacy in subjects with PV and baseline elevated hematocrit.
Estimate the proportion of subject with a hematocrit less than 45% at Week 16

Proportion of subjects with hematocrit \<45%

Effect of PTG-300 on Transferrin Saturation
Week 24 (or End of Treatment if treated for less than 24 weeks)

Change from Baseline to Week 24 (or End of Treatment) in transferrin saturation (TSAT) as measured by blood laboratory tests.

Effect of PTG-300 on Serum Iron
Week 24 (or End of Treatment if treated for less than 24 weeks)

Change from Baseline to Week 24 (or End of Treatment) in serum iron as measured by blood laboratory tests.

Proportion of responders during the blinded randomized withdrawal period (Week 29 to Week 41).
12 weeks

A subject will be considered a responder during the blinded randomized withdrawal phase if hematocrit control is maintained without phlebotomy eligibility. "Phlebotomy eligibility" is defined as any one of the following criteria being met: * hematocrit ≥45% that was ≥3% higher than Week 29 pre-randomization hematocrit value, or * hematocrit \>48%, or * an increase of ≥5% in hematocrit compared to Week 29 pre-randomization hematocrit value.

Frequently asked questions about PTG-300

What is PTG-300 used for?

PTG-300 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of polycythemia vera, hereditary hemochromatosis, and beta-thalassemia. It has also been evaluated in healthy volunteers to assess its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The drug is being developed by Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and is currently in clinical development.

What does PTG-300 target?

PTG-300 is a hepcidin mimetic, meaning it mimics the action of the hormone hepcidin, which regulates iron absorption and distribution in the body. By acting like hepcidin, PTG-300 aims to reduce iron levels and manage conditions associated with iron overload, such as polycythemia vera and hereditary hemochromatosis.

Who makes PTG-300?

PTG-300 is being developed by Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol PTGX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PTG-300 in various indications, including polycythemia vera and hereditary hemochromatosis.

What phase is PTG-300 in?

PTG-300 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials, including studies in healthy volunteers, patients with polycythemia vera, and patients with hereditary hemochromatosis. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is PTG-300 in?

PTG-300 has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT04057040 (REVIVE) in patients with polycythemia vera, NCT04202965 in subjects with hereditary hemochromatosis, NCT04516382 in healthy volunteers, and NCT04767802 in patients with polycythemia vera and elevated hematocrit. All trials have been completed.

Is PTG-300 the same as a hepcidin mimetic?

Yes, PTG-300 is a hepcidin mimetic. It is designed to replicate the function of hepcidin, a hormone that controls iron levels in the body. By mimicking hepcidin, PTG-300 aims to reduce iron overload in conditions like polycythemia vera and hereditary hemochromatosis.
