Continued treatment with pelabresib for patients from previous studies
An Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension Study for Patients Previously Enrolled in Studies With Pelabresib
This study is testing whether continued treatment with pelabresib can help people who have already tried it in earlier studies stay healthy and live longer without leukemia.

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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients who have previously received pelabresib and are experiencing clinical benefits from the treatment.
Not a fit: Patients who discontinued pelabresib treatment for reasons unrelated to participation in this study will not benefit from ongoing 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 performed: Other studies involving pelabresib have shown promising results, indicating that this approach may build on existing knowledge rather than being entirely novel.
