Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with relapsed or refractory AML, MDS, or CMML who are ineligible for standard chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with low performance status or those with severe organ dysfunction may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of LP-108, a BCL-2 inhibitor, in combination with azacitidine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). The study involves a multicenter, open-label design with dose-escalation and expansion phases to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose and to assess preliminary efficacy. Participants will undergo screening, treatment, and regular blood and bone marrow tests to monitor safety and response to the treatment. The trial aims to treat participants until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment combination could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat blood cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with BCL-2 inhibitors in hematological malignancies, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
