Summary
This is a Phase 1 study designed to assess the effect of hepatic insufficiency on the PK of pacritinib by study of 14-day BID dosing of pacritinib in subjects with moderate and severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy matched control subjects with normal liver function. Safety and tolerability of multiple day dosing of pacritinib in the subject populations will also be evaluated.

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with Hepatic Impairment Only:

8. Has chronic (>6 months) and stable hepatic impairment (ie, no acute episodes of

9. Is judged by the investigator to be in good general health, as determined by medical
history, clinical laboratory assessments, vital sign measurements, 12 lead ECG
results, and physical examination findings, except for findings that, as judged by the

gastroenterostomy, or bowel resection (esophageal varix surgery is allowable)

3. Has a baseline seated systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg or ≤90 mm Hg and a diastolic
blood pressure of >100 mm Hg or ≤50 mm Hg, inclusive, at screening and check in unless
deemed not clinically significant by the investigator, as approved by the sponsor.

4. Has a baseline seated pulse rate of <50 bpm or >100 bpm and/or an oral body
temperature <35.0°C or >37.5°C when vital signs are measured at screening and check
in.

5. Has a significant QT interval prolongation (QTcF of >480 msec) or other risks for QT
prolongation at screening or check-in.

6. Has a history of being immunocompromised or has a positive serum test result for HIV
types 1 or 2 antibodies at screening.

7. Has had a significant illness within the 2 weeks prior to check-in.

8. Has a history of alcoholism, drug abuse, or alcohol withdrawal within 3 months before
screening, or excessive alcohol consumption (regular alcohol intake >21 units per week
for male subjects and >14 units of alcohol per week for female subjects) (1 unit is
equal to approximately ½ pint [200 mL] of beer, 1 small glass [100 mL] of wine, or 1
measure [25 mL] of spirits).

9. Is unable or unwilling to abstain from alcohol from 72 hours prior to check-in until
Day 21.

10. Is unable or unwilling to abstain from caffeine, xanthine-containing beverages or food
(eg, coffee, tea, chocolate, and caffeinated sodas, colas) from check in until Day 21.

11. Has consumed grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, or products containing any
of these, from 7 days prior to check-in to the study site until Day 21.

12. Smokes >10 cigarettes daily and is unwilling to reduce to ≤5 daily from the time of
screening through Day 21.

13. Is involved in strenuous activity or contact sports within 24 hours prior to check-in
or during the study.

14. Has donated blood or blood products >450 mL within 30 days prior to the first dose of
study drug.

15. Has used over-the-counter medications (except as prescribed by a physician or
paracetamol [up to 2 g per day]), vitamins, or phyto-therapeutic/herbal/plant-derived
preparations within 14 days of check-in.

16. Has used a potent CYP3A4 inducer within 30 days prior to check-in or used a potent

discretion.

31. Has evidence of progressive liver disease (as available within the last 4 weeks,
including the time period between screening and check-in) as indicated by liver
transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, as judged by

33. Has a positive test result for drugs of abuse (except for positive results associated
with prescription medications that have been reviewed and approved by the
investigator) or positive alcohol urine or breath test at screening or check-in. A
positive tetrahydrocannabinol result at screening will not be exclusionary, but must
be negative at check-in.

significant by the investigator. Results deemed not clinically significant by the
investigator in consultation with the sponsor may be allowed.

35. Has initiated any otherwise allowable prescription or over-the-counter medications
within 15 days of check-in. Some of these medications may have to be discontinued 12
to 48 hours before study drug dosing, or earlier. As medication regimens vary and
cannot be predicted, each subject will be discussed with the sponsor individually. The
dose of an approved medication must remain stable from 7 days before study drug dosing
and throughout the study.

Additional Exclusion Criteria for Healthy Subjects Only:

36. Has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen and/or hepatitis C virus
antibodies.
