This is a Phase 2 study with an open-label dose escalation phase followed by a blinded withdrawal phase and an open label extension. The study is designed to monitor the PTG-300 safety profile and to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of PTG-300 for the treatment of phlebotomy-requiring polycythemia vera.
Phase 2 study in approximately sixty subjects previously diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera who require phlebotomy on a routine basis. There is a 28 week dose finding phase to identify a dose that maintains hematocrit \<45%. Subjects who successfully complete the dose finding phase will be entered into a 12 week randomized withdrawal phase to confirm the response. Subsequently patients will enter into an up to 3 year open label extension to investigate long term safety.

Proportion of responders during the blinded randomized withdrawal period (Week 29 to Week 41).
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.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change in rate of phlebotomy events between Week 17 through Week 29 (inclusive; 12 weeks) compared to each subject's historical rate.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Change in rate of phlebotomy events between Week 1 through Week 29 (inclusive; 28 weeks) compared to each subject's historical rate.
Time frame: 28 weeks
Proportion of subjects achieving a response at Week 29, with response defined as having achieved the absence of "phlebotomy eligibility" during the efficacy evaluation phase beginning at Week 17 and continuing to Week 29.
"Phlebotomy eligibility" in Part 1 is defined as a hematocrit ≥45% that was ≥3% higher than baseline level (defined as Part 1 pre-dose Day 1) or a hematocrit \>48%.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
Proportion of subjects with reduction in the rate of phlebotomy events beginning at the Week 17 visit and continuing to Week 29 (12 weeks) compared to each subject's historical rate.
Time to "phlebotomy eligibility" from Week 29 to Week 41/End of Part 2.
Time frame: 12 Weeks
