Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with relapsed/refractory AML who have specific genetic mutations such as NPM1 or KMT2A rearrangements.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia or those with active central nervous system leukemia 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 clinical trial investigates the safety and tolerability of ziftomenib when combined with standard treatments for patients suffering from relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study will evaluate the antileukemic response of ziftomenib in conjunction with agents such as FLAG-IDA, low-dose cytarabine, and gilteritinib. Participants must have specific genetic mutations associated with AML, and the trial aims to determine the effectiveness of these combinations in improving patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using targeted therapies for AML, suggesting that this approach may yield beneficial results.
