About The Study
All patients who enroll in the trial will receive the investigational medication or a best available treatment while on the study.
50% will receive bomedemstat
50% will receive the best available treatment (anagrelide, busulfan, interferon, or ruxolitinib). The trial doctor will tell you which drug you will get if you are put in Group 2.
*A computer will decide which group you are put in. You have an equal chance of being placed in either group.
Trial Phase
Trial Phase 3
In Phase 3 trials, researchers try to find out if a treatment works in a large number of people, usually about 1,000 to 5,000 participants who have the health condition the treatment is intended to treat. In vaccine trials, the participants may be healthy or have diseases or conditions. Phase 3 trials may happen in a doctor’s office, a clinic, or a hospital.
