New treatment option for Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Official title Pacritinib in CMML
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06159491
What this study is testing
What is Pacritinib?
Pacritinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a phase 1/2 trial of pacritinib in combination with azacitidine in patients with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML). Patients will be newly diagnosed or previously treated but could not have received a prior JAK inhibitor.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
