Details and patient eligibility

About

This clinical trial is a Phase I, open-label, dose-finding and cohort expansion study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of APR-246 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in patients with myeloid malignancies.

Full description

This study will enroll adult male and female patients of age ≥ 18 years with documented diagnosis of AML, according to WHO classification, and documented TP53 mutation which is not benign or likely benign, who also meet the eligibility requirements of this protocol.

The study will include a safety lead-in dose-finding portion followed by expansion portion. During the safety lead-in portion of the study, two cohorts will independently enroll patients following a 3 + 3 design. Each cohort will enroll up to 6 patients.

The expansion portion will begin once the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of APR-246 in combination with venetoclax and in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine have been determined in order to assess the antitumor activity of these combinations.
