BOREAS Trial Summary

This trial will study KRT-232, a new drug that inhibits MDM2, for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis who are no longer benefiting from treatment with a JAK inhibitor. The trial will be conducted in 2 phases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with myelofibrosis who haven't responded to JAK inhibitor treatment. They should have a performance status score of 2 or less, indicating they can perform daily activities with some effort. The trial excludes those with significant heart issues, recent major organ transplants, brain injuries or strokes within the past 6 months, prior splenectomy, and previous treatments targeting MDM2 or p53.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests KRT-232 against Best Available Therapy (BAT) in myelofibrosis patients unresponsive to JAK inhibitors. Phase 2 determines the optimal dose of KRT-232; Phase 3 compares its effectiveness to BAT chosen by physicians. Participants are randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio favoring KRT-232 and may switch from BAT to KRT-232 if needed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for KRT-232 aren't listed here, similar drugs often cause fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, liver function changes and potential blood cell count alterations. Side effects vary based on individual health conditions and drug interactions.
