Study Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of a new drug, parsaclisib, to a placebo when used with another drug, ruxolitinib, to treat myelofibrosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with myelofibrosis, a type of bone marrow cancer. They should have an intermediate to high risk level, be able to perform daily activities (ECOG score 0-2), and have a life expectancy over 24 weeks. Participants need a spleen that's enlarged by at least 5 cm and must not plan on becoming pregnant or fathering children.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of combining parsaclisib with ruxolitinib versus using ruxolitinib with a placebo in treating myelofibrosis. The goal is to see if adding parsaclisib improves patient outcomes compared to just using ruxolitinib alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include digestive issues, liver problems, infections due to weakened immune system, blood disorders like anemia or thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), fatigue, and potential allergic reactions.
