Official title Imetelstat Combinations in Relapsed AML

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07320235

What this study is testing

What is Imetelstat?

Imetelstat is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Also referred to as GRN163L.

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
IMAGINE is a two-part trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of imetelstat in combination with azacitidine with or without venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. The trial will consist of a safety run-in phase (Part A) employing a 3+3 design to monitor dose-limiting toxicities of imetelstat when administered in combination with a fixed dose of azacitidine.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Time commitment: about 54 months
