Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients who have previously received pelabresib and are experiencing clinical benefits from the treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who discontinued pelabresib treatment for reasons unrelated to participation in this study will not benefit from ongoing treatment.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study provides ongoing access to pelabresib for patients who have previously participated in studies involving this treatment. It aims to gather additional safety and efficacy data while monitoring overall survival and leukemia-free survival rates. Patients who received pelabresib or placebo in earlier studies will be followed up to assess their health outcomes. The study will also collect information on adverse events related to the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could offer patients continued access to a potentially beneficial treatment while providing valuable data on its long-term effects.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving pelabresib have shown promising results, indicating that this approach may build on existing knowledge rather than being entirely novel.
