New pill shows promise for rare blood cancer in early trial
NCT ID NCT05153343
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tested a new drug called flonoltinib maleate in 31 people with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a group of bone marrow cancers. The main goals were to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the body processes the drug. Researchers hope this drug can control the disease better than current treatments.
