Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with AML featuring MECOM or atypical 3q26 rearrangements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with AML who do not have MECOM or atypical 3q26 rearrangements may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This academic, multicenter study focuses on patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have MECOM or atypical 3q26 rearrangements. It aims to collect and analyze bone marrow samples and biopsies to characterize the genome, transcriptome, and proteome of these patients. The study will gather data before and after treatment, as well as at relapse, to better understand the biological underpinnings of this specific AML subtype.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and targeted therapies for AML patients with MECOM or atypical 3q26 rearrangements.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on a specific genetic alteration in AML, similar studies have shown promise in characterizing other subtypes of leukemia, suggesting potential for success.

Quality-of-life–guided red blood cell transfusions for people with refractory MDS or AML
We test whether using routine EQ-5D-5L quality-of-life scores to decide when to give red blood cell transfusions can safely reduce the number of transfusions for adults with refractory MDS or AML who are receiving only palliative care.

Using eganelisib alone and with cytarabine for treating relapsed/refractory AML
This study is testing if a new drug called eganelisib, used alone or with another drug called cytarabine, can help people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia feel better.
