Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include treatment-naïve AML patients aged 60 and older or younger patients with specific co-morbidities that make them unfit for intensive chemotherapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or those who do not meet the eligibility criteria will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ICP-248 in combination with azacitidine in patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). The study is divided into two parts: a dose escalation period followed by a dose expansion period. It aims to determine the optimal dosing and effectiveness of the treatment in both treatment-naïve and previously treated relapsed/refractory AML subjects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, potentially improving outcomes and survival rates.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of combining ICP-248 with azacitidine, similar studies have shown promise in treating AML with other combinations.
