Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Previously Untreated Relapsed Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

New treatment option for Previously Untreated Relapsed Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Official title Study of Biomarker-Based Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03013998

What this study is testing

What is Samalizumab (BAML-16-001-S1)?

Samalizumab (BAML-16-001-S1) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for previously untreated relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study "Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1)." The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negative sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies.
