Gentler chemo approach shows promise for tough blood cancers in older patients
NCT ID NCT04668885
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether lower doses of the chemotherapy drug CPX-351 can help older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that have come back or not responded to other treatments. The goal is to control the disease while being gentler on the body. About 13 participants are involved, and the main focus is on how many patients see their cancer shrink or disappear.
