Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis who have previously been treated with JAK inhibitors and have either failed treatment or are ineligible for further JAK inhibitor therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have not been previously treated with JAK inhibitors or those with low-risk myelofibrosis may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of nuvisertib (TP-3654) in patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis. The study consists of three arms: one for patients who have failed JAK inhibitor treatment, another for those on stable ruxolitinib doses with inadequate response, and a third for patients with complications from previous JAK inhibitor treatments. Participants will be monitored for their response to the treatment and any adverse effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with myelofibrosis who have not responded to existing JAK inhibitors.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches targeting myelofibrosis, but this specific treatment is novel.
