First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing whether the cholesterol drug atorvastatin can lower levels of a faulty protein (mutant p53) in people with solid tumors or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. About 50 participants will take atorvastatin for 1 to 4 weeks before their planned surgery or treatment. The study aims to see if the drug changes the protein levels, not to cure the disease.
