Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years and older with essential thrombocythemia or morphologically confirmed MPN/MDS-MPN with thrombocytosis who meet study criteria and have no prohibitive health issues.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with progression of disease, intolerable toxicity, or contraindications to JBI-802 may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a combined Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study of JBI-802 given orally once daily in 28-day cycles. The trial uses a dose-escalation approach to determine safety and pharmacology, followed by a dose-expansion phase to explore preliminary effectiveness in adults with essential thrombocythemia or other MPN/MDS-MPN conditions with thrombocytosis. JBI-802 targets two epigenetic enzymes, LSD1 and HDAC6, with the aim of modulating disease biology and reducing abnormal platelet production. Participants may stay in the trial for up to two years depending on benefit and tolerability. Primary endpoints focus on safety and pharmacokinetics, with secondary observations of early clinical signals of efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience stabilization or reduction of abnormal platelet counts and other disease-related improvements.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar epigenetic targets have shown signals of activity in related myeloid neoplasms, but this exact dual-LSD1/HDAC6 inhibitor approach is still being explored.
