New Recruiting Trial: Pacritinib, a Kinase Inhibitor of CSF1R, IRAK1, JAK2, and FLT3, in Adults and Pediatric Participants 12 Years of Age or Older With Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Researchers are testing a new drug called pacritinib in people ages 12 and older who have myelodysplastic syndromes or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms — rare blood disorders where the bone marrow doesn't make enough healthy blood cells. The drug works by blocking several proteins that may be causing these diseases. This is an early-stage study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute that will start recruiting patients in April 2026.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers patients with myelodysplastic syndromes access to a novel multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that may address disease mechanisms not covered by current standard treatments, with enrollment beginning in April 2026.

New Recruiting Trial: A Study to Compare Elritercept With Epoetin Alfa to Treat Anemia in Adults With Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Who Need Regular Blood Transfusions

Researchers are testing a new drug called elritercept to see if it works better than a standard treatment (epoetin alfa) for anemia in adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)—a blood disorder where the bone marrow doesn't make enough healthy blood cells. People in this study have low, very low, or intermediate risk MDS and need regular blood transfusions. The trial is now accepting patients.

WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting adults with MDS who require transfusions, offering access to an investigational treatment that may reduce their dependence on blood transfusions.
