Testing a New Chemotherapy Drug, KRT-232 (AMG-232) in Combination With Decitabine and Venetoclax in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (NCT03041688)

A Phase 1B Study of KRT-232 (AMG-232) in Combination With Decitabine and Venetoclax in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of navtemadlin when given together with decitabine and venetoclax in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or is newly diagnosed. Navtemadlin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving navtemadlin, decitabine, and venetoclax together may work better than decitabine alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
