- Abstract data show rapid platelet reductions and durable hematologic control
- Company to host an event on December 14, 2026
YARDLEY, Pa., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jubilant Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, advancing precision therapeutics for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), today announced that clinical results from its Phase 1/2 study of JBI-802, a first-in-class, orally administered dual inhibitor of LSD1 and HDAC6 (CoREST), have been selected for an oral presentation at the 68th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 12–15, 2026, in New Orleans and online.
“We are pleased to have the preliminary clinical data for JBI-802 selected for oral presentation at ASH,” said Daniel O’Connor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jubilant Therapeutics. “The abstract data from this ongoing Phase 1/2 study show encouraging early evidence of rapid platelet reductions and hematologic control in patients with ET and related MPNs. We look forward to presenting additional efficacy, safety and molecular data at ASH as we continue to evaluate JBI-802 in these patients.”
The oral presentation will include results from the Phase 1 portion of the study, an open-label, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of JBI-802. The study has enrolled patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) with thrombocytosis who were relapsed, refractory or intolerant to standard of care (JBI-802-02; ACTRN12624000478516).
Key findings from the abstract (data as of June 30, 2026) include:
- All 8 patients who initiated treatment at the 15 mg achieved a >50% platelet reduction or platelet normalization (<400 ×10⁹/L) by Week 3, with a median time to response of 15 days.
- Platelet normalization was maintained through 33, 44 and 46 weeks in patients enrolled at 15 mg with >12 weeks of follow-up.
- Seven of 11 patients with leukocytosis at 15 mg achieved a complete hematologic response.
- No dose-limiting toxicities were observed at 5, 7 or 15 mg.
Additional efficacy, safety and molecular data will be presented during the oral session. The abstract is available on the ASH Annual Meeting website.

About JBI-802
JBI-802 is an orally administered dual inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) that targets the CoREST complex. It is designed to act on multiple disease-relevant processes, including abnormal megakaryocyte differentiation, platelet production, leukocyte proliferation and inflammatory signaling. JBI-802 is being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1/2 study in patients with ET and other thrombocytosis-predominant myeloid malignancies (JBI-802-02; ACTRN12624000478516; NCT07612280).
