Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia that has specific genetic mutations.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without FLT3 mutations or those who do not have concurrent NPM1 mutations or MLL 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 phase I trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of SNDX-5613 and gilteritinib in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has mutations in the FLT3 gene and either an NPM1 mutation or MLL rearrangement. The study involves a dose-escalation approach where patients receive SNDX-5613 twice daily and gilteritinib once daily over 28-day cycles. The trial includes assessments of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, along with regular monitoring through bone marrow biopsies and blood samples. Patients will be followed for up to two years after treatment completion to evaluate long-term outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with difficult-to-treat forms of acute myeloid leukemia.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific combination, similar studies targeting FLT3 mutations have shown promising results.
