Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs, DFP-10917 and venetoclax, in 39 adults with acute myeloid leukemia that has relapsed or not responded to prior treatments. DFP-10917 is given as a continuous 14-day IV infusion, while venetoclax is taken orally for 10-14 days each cycle. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination can help control the leukemia.
