Summary
This phase 1 trial is testing an experimental pill called flonoltinib maleate in people with certain bone marrow tumors, including myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and essential thrombocythemia. The drug targets two proteins involved in abnormal blood cell growth. The study aims to find the safest dose and see how the body processes the drug, while also checking for early signs of benefit.
