OncoMatch/Clinical Trials/NCT06782373
A Study to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety of Pacritinib in Patients With VEXAS Syndrome (PAXIS)
Is NCT06782373 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies Pacritinib for vexas.
Treatment: Pacritinib — 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. 78 participants will be enrolled, randomized to either pacritinib dose A, pacritinib dose B + placebo, or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by prescribed GC dose on the day of randomization.
