Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with active acute leukemia and specific genetic mutations or rearrangements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without active disease or those not harboring the targeted genetic mutations 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 evaluates the safety and efficacy of revumenib in patients with relapsed or refractory leukemias, particularly those with MLL/KMT2A gene rearrangements or NPM1 mutations. The study consists of a Phase 1 dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a Phase 2 expansion to assess the drug's effectiveness and safety across specific leukemia subtypes. Participants will be assigned to different arms based on their concurrent medications and genetic profiles. The trial aims to provide a targeted treatment approach for acute leukemias.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat leukemias.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with targeted therapies in leukemia, suggesting potential for success with this approach.
