NCT ID NCT05918692

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental pill called BMF-500 in 35 adults with acute leukemia, especially those with a specific genetic mutation (FLT3). The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it can help control the disease. Participants must have leukemia that has come back or not improved after prior treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

BMF-500 (an oral FLT3 inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new targeted treatment option for patients with acute leukemia that has returned or not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 35 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not prove effective or could have significant side effects.
