Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed CALR driver mutation and specific risk characteristics associated with essential thrombocythemia or myelofibrosis.

Probably not a fit

Patients with known allergies to the study treatment or concurrent malignancies 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 study aims to evaluate the safety and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of JNJ-88549968 for patients with calreticulin (CALR)-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms. The trial consists of two parts: a dose escalation phase to identify optimal dosing schedules and a cohort expansion phase to further assess safety at the recommended doses. Participants will be monitored for adverse effects and treatment efficacy throughout the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with CALR-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in targeting CALR mutations specifically, similar studies in myeloproliferative neoplasms have shown promising results.
