A poster discussion presentation will include data on pelabresib, an investigational BET inhibitor.

Myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia are both myeloproliferative neoplasms, which are types of blood cancers that begin with a genetic change in bone marrow stem cells. The presentations on pelabresib include:
