ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06994676
What this study is testing
What is CBX-250?
CBX-250 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
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
- Study CBX-250-001 is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study of CBX-250 in participants with relapsed/refractory AML, HR-MDS, CMML, and CML. Participants aged ≥ 12 years are planned to be enrolled.
