NCT ID NCT05308264

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests a new drug called R289 in adults with a type of blood cancer called lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that has not improved with standard treatments. The main goal is to check if R289 is safe and tolerable, and to see if it can reduce or eliminate the need for blood transfusions. About 86 participants will take R289 pills daily, and researchers will monitor side effects and any improvement in blood cell counts.
