AMX-883 in AML and high-risk MDS: a first-in-class dosing study
Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multi-Centre Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of AMX-883 Monotherapy in Participants With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and in Combination With Anticancer Agents in Participants With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Run by Amphista Therapeutics Ltd · NCT07723703 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This early-stage study tests AMX-883 alone and with another drug to see if it is safe and shows early signs of benefit in people with AML or high-risk MDS.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with relapsed or refractory AML or high-risk MDS with bone marrow blasts 10-19%, good performance status (ECOG 0-2), and adequate organ function who consent to protocol requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose disease progresses rapidly or who do not respond to AMX-883 or the combination therapy may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center dose-escalation study of AMX-883 in adults with relapsed or refractory AML and high-risk MDS. It has a monotherapy module to determine safe dosing and a combination module with posaconazole to explore potential interactions and efficacy signals. Parts A and B evaluate escalating doses, safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy, aiming to establish dosing guidelines for future trials. The study will also assess food effects on AMX-883 and collect early signals of activity. Additional modules may be added as the protocol evolves.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience disease control or extended stability and the data could support further development of AMX-883 in AML/MDS.
How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 studies of similar targeted agents in AML/MDS have shown safety signals and early activity, but this specific AMX-883 approach is novel in this patient population.
