CPX-351 Therapy for MDS After Hypomethylating Agent Failure

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with CPX-351 (an FDA approved drug for the treatment of AML) in individuals with MDS while using a new stratification tool to predict outcomes of participants following HMA failure. This approach is intended to gain a better understanding and insight into identifying new opportunities for drug approvals in this setting.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
