Clinical Trial Title
A Phase 2 Multicenter Study of TL-895 in Subjects with Relapsed/Refractory Myelofibrosis, Janus Kinase Inhibitor Intolerant Myelofibrosis, Janus Kinase Inhibitor Treatment Ineligible Myelofibrosis, or Indolent Systemic MastocytosisNational Clinical Trial Number:
NCT04655118Contact Information
Clinical Trial Protocol Description:
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of TL-895. There are 2 parts planned for this study, Part A will test different doses of TL-895 to identify the recommended dose for Part B. Part B will continue to test if the recommended dose is a tolerable and effective treatment for myelofibrosis.
