Can a new daily pill shrink the spleen and ease myelofibrosis symptoms?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Exclusion Criteria: Participants must not: 1. Have failure to recover from toxic effects of prior anticancer therapy to Grade 1 or below (except alopecia), or failure to fully recover from prior surgery (major surgery within 4 weeks); 2. Have known hypersensitivity to the investigational product or its excipients; 3. Have any significant clinical or laboratory abnormality that would interfere with accurate safety evaluation on study, including: 1. Uncontrolled diabetes with fasting blood glucose \>250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L); 2. Hypertension not controlled by one or two antihypertensive drugs to the following range: systolic \<160 mmHg, diastolic \<100 mmHg; 3. Peripheral neuropathy of Grade 2 or higher according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v6.0; 4. Thyroid dysfunction of Grade 2 or higher per CTCAE v6.0; 5. Any other relevant abnormality in the opinion of the investigator; 4. Have a history of congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or pulmonary embolism within the 6 months prior to screening; 5. Have impaired cardiac function including any of the following conditions as determined by echocardiogram or electrocardiogram (ECG): left ventricular ejection fraction less than 45%, or complete left bundle branch block with ST-segment depression greater than 1 mm or T-wave inversion across 2 or more leads. Other criteria include congenital ventricular arrhythmias, clinically significant tachycardia (greater than 100 beats per minute), bradycardia (less than 50 beats per minute) with accompanying clinical symptoms, heart rate less than 60 beats per minute with symptoms, an ECG Corrected QT Interval (QTc) interval greater than 450 ms, or clinically significant cardiac conditions such as unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction occurring within the last 6 months. Patients with heart failure who meet New York Heart Association class III and IV definitions are ineligible for this study; 6. Have an active serious infection requiring treatment at the time of screening; 7. Have undergone splenectomy or who have received splenic irradiation within 6 months prior to screening; 8. Have Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive, active Hepatitis B (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen \[HBsAg\] positive and Hepatitis B Virus \[HBV\]-DNA ≥1000 copies/mL), or positive for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibodies or HCV-RNA at screening; 9. Have epilepsy or are taking psychotropic or sedative medications at screening; 10.

Highly effective contraceptive measures include: i) Stable use of combined (estrogen and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) or progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable) associated with inhibition of ovulation initiated 2 or more menstrual cycles before screening; ii) Intrauterine device; intrauterine hormone-releasing system; iii) Sexual abstinence; iv) Intercourse with a vasectomized partner (the male vasectomized partner is the sole sexual partner of the WOCBP study patient, the vasectomized partner has obtained medical assessment of surgical success for the procedure); 11. Be sexually active male patients with WOCBP partners who are unwilling to use 1 of the following forms of medically acceptable birth control at the start of the first treatment, during the study, and for at least 6 months after the last dose: i) Vasectomy with medical assessment of surgical success or consistent use of a condom; ii) Male Participants must also agree not to donate sperm while receiving the investigational product and for at least 6 months after the last dose; 12.
