Conference|American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition (ASH)

This video reviews the phase I portion of a trial testing glasdegib in patients with primary/secondary myelofibrosis previously treated with JAK inhibitors.

In this video, Aaron Gerds, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, discusses the phase I portion of a phase I/II trial testing the smoothened (SMO) inhibitor glasdegib in patients with primary/secondary myelofibrosis previously treated with JAK inhibitors.

Gerds gave a presentation on this study (abstract 258) at the 2017 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, held December 9–12 in Atlanta.
