Active Biotech Cleared to Resume Tasquinimod Myelofibrosis Trial in Europe

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Active Biotech AB ( (SE:ACTI) ) has shared an announcement.

Active Biotech has received approval from European regulatory authorities and ethics committees to resume patient enrolment in the HOVON 172 MF proof‑of‑concept study of tasquinimod in myelofibrosis, conducted within the HOVON network in the Netherlands and Germany. The amendment, which introduces a more flexible dosing regimen aligned with prior prostate cancer trials, is expected to facilitate recruitment and support further clinical evaluation of tasquinimod in patients who are refractory or ineligible to JAK2 inhibitors.

The study, legally sponsored by HOVON and supported by Oncode Institute’s Clinical Proof‑of‑Concept programme, is part of a broader collaboration aimed at accelerating translation of promising cancer research into treatments for patients with limited therapeutic options. For Active Biotech, the restart of enrolment strengthens the clinical development of tasquinimod in a rare blood cancer with high unmet need, potentially enhancing its strategic position in hematology and immuno‑oncology if efficacy is confirmed.
