Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests STP938, a daily pill, in 50 adults with high-risk essential thrombocythaemia who cannot use standard therapy. The goal is to see if it safely lowers high platelet counts and reduces complications like blood clots. Participants take the drug for up to 12 months with regular clinic visits.

Active substance

STP938

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with essential thrombocythaemia who cannot take or do not respond to current therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to control platelet counts long-term.
