Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Ability to comprehend and willingness to sign a written ICF for the study.
  • Age 19 to 55 years inclusive at the time of signing the ICF.
  • Body mass index between 18.0 and 30.5 kg/m2, inclusive. Up to 25% of participants with a BMI up to 32.0 kg/m2 may be enrolled.
  • No clinically significant findings on screening evaluations (clinical, laboratory, and ECG).
  • Ability to swallow and retain oral medication.
  • Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the protocol defined criteria.

Who cannot join

  • History of uncontrolled respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematopoietic, psychiatric, and/or neurological disease within 6 months of screening.
  • History of an autoimmune disease diagnosis (eg, myasthenia gravis).
  • History of unstable cardiovascular disease; cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular, or thrombotic disease; or uncontrolled hypertension (ie, systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg at screening, confirmed by repeat testing).
  • History or presence of an abnormal ECG before initial dose administration that, in the investigator's opinion, is clinically significant (ie, a QTcF interval > 440 milliseconds for males and > 460 milliseconds for females, QRS interval > 120 milliseconds, or PR interval > 220 milliseconds). Note: In the event a value is exclusionary, a single ECG will be repeated twice, and the average of the 3 readings will be used to determine if a participant should be excluded.
  • Presence or history of a malabsorption syndrome (eg, Crohn's disease or chronic pancreatitis) that could affect the absorption of study drug.
  • History of malignancy within 5 years of screening, with the exception of cured basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Gleason 6 prostate cancer.

  • Resting pulse rate < 40 bpm or > 100 bpm at screening, confirmed by repeat testing.
  • Hemoglobin, WBC count, platelet count, or absolute neutrophil count less than the laboratory LLN at screening or check-in, confirmed by repeat testing. Hemoglobin, WBC, platelet, and neutrophil abnormalities must also be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator to be exclusionary.
  • Vitamin B12 and folate levels at screening that are clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator. Note: Assessment of vitamin B12 and folate levels may be repeated once if outside the reference range.

  • Consumption of red wine, Seville oranges, grapefruit or grapefruit juice, pomelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids, or fruit juices within 72 hours before the first dose of study drug.
  • Current use of prohibited medication as described in the protocol.
  • History of any significant drug allergy (such as anaphylaxis or hepatotoxicity) deemed clinically relevant by the investigator.
  • Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to povorcitinib or any excipients of povorcitinib or any JAK inhibitor (refer to the IB).
  • Inability to undergo venipuncture or tolerate venous access.
  • Inability to undergo or tolerate multiple skin biopsies.
  • History of tobacco- or nicotine-containing product use within 1 month before screening.
  • Use of prescription drugs (including hormonal contraceptives) within 14 days before study drug administration or nonprescription medications/products (including vitamins, minerals, and phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations) within 7 days before study drug administration. However, occasional, standard-dose paracetamol and ibuprofen and standard-dose vitamins are permitted. Mega-dose vitamins or supplements are not permissible.
  • Excessive exercise (eg, Ironman®, triathlon) within 7 days before check-in (Day -1).
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data.
  • Tattoo or scarring at skin sample sites.
  • History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Povorcitinib in people with Healthy Participants, run by Incyte Corporation at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 36 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic (PK) in dermal povorcitinib (time frame: Up to Day 17). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06505265, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2024.
