Summary

This trial will study two different drugs to treat myelofibrosis in patients who have not received treatment before. The first stage will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drugs, and the second stage will enroll more patients in the successful drug group.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with myelofibrosis who haven't had treatment before. They should have a confirmed diagnosis of primary or secondary myelofibrosis, be at high-risk or intermediate risk according to DIPSS, and have good physical functioning (ECOG 0-1). People can't join if they've had certain previous treatments like JAK inhibitors, splenectomy, stem-cell transplant, or if they have specific mutations (p53), heart issues (QTc prolongation), or recent major bleeding.
What is being tested?
The study tests two drugs: KRT-232 and TL-895 in people who haven’t received any prior treatment for myelofibrosis. It's split into two stages; the first checks safety and effectiveness of each drug separately. If successful, stage two will continue with more participants in either one or both groups.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, common side effects for new treatments like KRT-232 and TL-895 might include nausea, fatigue, liver enzyme changes leading to potential liver damage, blood count abnormalities which could increase infection risk or cause anemia/bleeding problems.
