Official title Study of REM-422 in Patients With AML or Higher Risk MDS
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06297941
What this study is testing
What is REM-422?
REM-422 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes.
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
- The goal of this study is to determine the safety and antitumor effects of REM-422, a MYB mRNA degrader, in people with Higher Risk MDS and relapsed/refractory AML
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
