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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with myelofibrosis and related blood cancers, potentially controlling the disease with fewer side effects.
