NCT ID NCT06034002
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.

- INCA033989 (a drug) and ruxolitinib (also known as Jakafi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with myeloproliferative neoplasms, potentially improving symptom control and reducing spleen size.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, not yet on effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or not work as hoped. Results are preliminary and may not lead to a widely available treatment.
