Bomedemstat vs Hydroxyurea for Essential Thrombocythemia (MK-3543-007)
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Active-Comparator-Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Bomedemstat (MK-3543) Versus Hydroxyurea in Cytoreductive Therapy Naïve Essential Thrombocythemia Participants
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bomedemstat compared with hydroxyurea in cytoreductive therapy naïve essential thrombocythemia (ET) participants for whom cytoreductive therapy is indicated. Its primary objective is to compare bomedemstat to hydroxyurea with respect to durable clinicohematologic response (DCHR). The primary hypothesis is that bomedemstat is superior to hydroxyurea with respect to DCHR.
