New treatment option for Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm
Official title Venetoclax, SL-401, and Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04216524
What this study is testing
What is Cyclophosphamide?
Cyclophosphamide is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm.
Also referred to as (-)-Cyclophosphamide, 2H-1,3,2-Oxazaphosphorine, 2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]tetrahydro-, 2-oxide, monohydrate.
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 phase II trial studies how well venetoclax, SL-401, and chemotherapy works in treating patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. Venetoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
