Myelofibrosis Study - BUS58

This Novartis study will assess the safety and efficacy of a Novartis investigational drug as a single agent in the treatment of Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-Polycythemia Vera and Post-Essential Thrombocythemia. There will be two cohorts - patients with JAK2 mutation and patients without JAK2 mutation. An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being clinically tested and is not approved for sale or use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the indication in which it is being studied.
Trial phase: Phase 2
Participation Duration: Participation in this study requires you to come to the doctor's office/clinic for a screening visit and then weekly for the first 4 weeks that you take the study drug treatment. Thereafter, you will be asked to come to the clinic two times every cycle for the next two cycles and once per cycle for the remainder of the trial.
Protocol Number: CLBH589BUS58
