Study Summary
This trial is testing Canakinumab as a treatment for primary myelofibrosis, post essential thrombocythemia/polycythemia vera related MF. Eligible patients will receive Canakinumab administered as a subcutaneous injection every 3 weeks for a core study period of 8 cycles.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis or related conditions, who cannot take ruxolitinib/fedratinib due to low platelet counts or lack of response. They must have adequate organ function, not be eligible for certain other treatments, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with unstable heart disease, recent live vaccinations, high-dose steroid treatment within 14 days, active infections including HIV and hepatitis B/C, or any serious medical/psychiatric issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Canakinumab given as a subcutaneous injection every three weeks over eight cycles in patients with myelofibrosis. The study will assess the drug's effectiveness and safety through an interim analysis after ten patients are enrolled and may stop if there's excessive toxicity or no responses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Canakinumab could potentially cause immune system reactions leading to inflammation in various organs. There might also be injection site reactions like pain or swelling. Since it affects the immune system broadly, there may be an increased risk of infections.
