Summary
This trial aims to study the safety and effectiveness of low-dose MTX in patients with MPNs. MTX, a type 2 JAK inhibitor, has been used for years to treat rhe
Who is the study for?
The TREATMORE trial is for patients with myeloproliferative disorders such as myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, or polycythemia vera. Participants should be currently receiving therapy for their condition but are still looking for additional treatment options.
What is being tested?
This study tests low-dose Methotrexate (MTX), a medication traditionally used in rheumatologic diseases and recently identified as a type 2 JAK inhibitor. The trial will assess its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness when added to current therapies in MPNs.
What are the potential side effects?
Methotrexate may cause side effects like nausea, mouth sores, fatigue, liver issues (elevated liver enzymes), lung problems (pneumonitis), and increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression.
