Summary

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called CWP232291 combined with the standard chemotherapy cytarabine in 15 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that had returned or not responded to prior treatments. The study aimed to find a safe dose and check for signs of effectiveness, but it was terminated early, so the full results are not available.
