Experimental AML combo trial halted early – what happened?
NCT ID NCT03055286
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- CWP232291 (an experimental drug) combined with cytarabine (a standard chemotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with AML that has come back or not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
