What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called SAR302503 in people with myelofibrosis who have already been treated with ruxolitinib. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink the spleen by at least 35% after six months of daily oral capsules. The study also tracks whether symptoms like night sweats and belly discomfort improve. Participants have intermediate- or high-risk myelofibrosis, including forms that started after polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental drug called SAR302503
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with myelofibrosis whose disease no longer responds to ruxolitinib.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with a small number of participants and no comparison group, so results may not confirm benefit. The drug may also have side effects.
