First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called INCA033989, alone or with an existing drug (ruxolitinib), in people with myeloproliferative neoplasms—a group of rare blood cancers that cause the bone marrow to produce too many cells. The study aims to find safe doses and check for side effects in about 290 participants. It is not yet testing whether the drug works, but it is a first step toward a potential new treatment.
