Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, MBG-453 and azacitidine, can eliminate leftover cancer cells in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to prevent relapse by treating the disease when it is still at a very low level. Only 3 participants are enrolled so far, making this a very small and early study.

MBG-453 and azacitidine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a way to prevent AML relapse by treating early signs of remaining cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very early trial with only 3 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drugs may cause side effects or fail to stop the cancer from returning.
