NCT ID NCT07429266

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding the drug sapablursen to standard treatment helps people with polycythemia vera, a blood disorder causing too many red blood cells. About 250 participants who currently need regular blood removal (phlebotomy) will receive either sapablursen or a placebo for up to 156 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces the need for phlebotomy and improves fatigue.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

sapablursen (a drug injected under the skin)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option to help control polycythemia vera and reduce the need for regular blood removal (phlebotomy).

What could go wrong

This is still an experimental drug, and its safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. Even if successful, it would manage the disease rather than cure it, and long-term risks are unknown.
