New pill trial targets genetic flaw in tough blood cancers

NCT ID NCT03953898

Summary

This study is testing if a pill called olaparib can help control advanced blood cancers (acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome) that have come back or haven't responded to standard treatments. It is for adults whose cancer has a specific genetic change called an IDH mutation. The goal is to see if blocking certain cell processes with this drug can stop cancer growth and lead to remission.
