NCT ID NCT06146257

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests an experimental oral drug called GLB-001 in adults whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have come back or not responded to treatment. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug shows any signs of working. About 48 participants will be enrolled in two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for people with hard-to-treat AML or MDS.
