Combining venetoclax and azacitidine for advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination of azacitidine and venetoclax in patients with advanced BCR-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. Participants will undergo a safety run-in period followed by two stages to assess their response to the treatment. The study aims to determine if this drug combination can effectively manage the disease in patients who have progressed to accelerated or blast phases. All participants will receive both drugs throughout the study.
