Recruiting PHASE1 Relapsed Myelodysplastic Syndrome

New treatment option for Relapsed Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Official title Eltanexor and Venetoclax in Relapsed or Refractory Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06399640

What this study is testing

What is Eltanexor?

Eltanexor is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for relapsed myelodysplastic syndrome.

Also referred to as KPT-8602.

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 I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of eltanexor in combination with venetoclax for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Eltanexor works by trapping "tumor suppressing proteins" within the cell, thus causing the cancer cells to die or stop growing.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Time commitment: about 24 months
