What This Trial Is Studying

This trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of pacritinib in patients with VEXAS (i.e., Vacuoles in myeloid progenitors, E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory manifestations, and somatic) syndrome. In phase 2a, approximately 78 participants will be randomized to either pacritinib dose A, pacritinib dose B + placebo, or placebo. In Phase 2b, approximately 78 participants will be randomized. Phase 2b participants will initially be randomized to either pacritinib dose A, pacritinib dose B + placebo, or placebo. After dose selection, Phase 2b further participants will be randomized to either…

Eligibility Snapshot
