NCT ID NCT02530463

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) with a chemotherapy drug (azacitidine) is safe and effective for treating myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a type of blood and bone marrow cancer. It is for 99 patients, including those newly diagnosed and those whose disease has returned after prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the disease.
