New hope for tough blood cancers: early trial tests novel drug

NCT ID NCT03770429

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety and best dose of an experimental drug called AZD6738 for adults with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) that has progressed after initial treatment. The drug works by blocking a specific protein in cancer cells that helps them repair damage, aiming to stop their growth. The main goal is to see how well patients tolerate the drug and to check for side effects.
