Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a confirmed diagnosis of myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, or essential thrombocythemia, a life expectancy over six months, acceptable laboratory values, and willingness to undergo baseline and on-study bone marrow procedures are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other recent cancers, active viral infections (HBV, HCV, HIV), tuberculosis, uncontrolled cardiac disease, recent major bleeding or thrombosis, prior or planned allogeneic stem-cell transplant, or who cannot meet washout/lab criteria are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, dose-escalation trial designed to define safety, dose-limiting toxicities, and the maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose for expansion of INCA036978 when used alone or combined with standard disease-directed therapy. Participants will receive ascending doses of INCA036978 and will be monitored closely for adverse events, laboratory changes, and disease-specific markers. Pretreatment and limited on-study bone marrow biopsies and aspirates are required as appropriate for the specific MPN subtype. The study excludes patients with other recent malignancies, uncontrolled infections, significant cardiac disease, recent major bleeding or thrombosis, or recent allogeneic stem cell transplant.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, INCA036978 could become a new treatment option that improves symptoms or disease control for some patients with MPNs who need alternatives to current therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Some targeted and combination therapies have shown benefit in MPNs, but this compound is novel and its safety and effectiveness remain unproven in humans.
