Pacritinib (INN[1]) is a macrocyclic Janus kinase inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of myelofibrosis. It mainly inhibits Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). The drug was in Phase III clinical trials as of 2013.[2]

The drug was given fast-track status in 2014.[3] In 2016, the FDA placed a full clinical hold on pacritinib due to concerns about increased mortality in patients receiving the drug in the "PERSIST-2" trial.[4] The clinical hold was lifted in January 2017.[5]
