Summary

This early-phase study tests a new drug called lonitoclax combined with azacitidine in 66 adults whose acute myeloid leukemia has returned or not responded to prior treatment. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for early signs that the combination might help control the disease. Participants will take both drugs by mouth or injection over 28-day cycles.

lonitoclax and azacitidine

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1b) study with only 66 participants, focused mainly on safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if the combination will be effective or safe long-term.
