Summary

This study tested two drugs, omacetaxine and venetoclax, in 24 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that returned or didn't respond to treatment and had a RUNX1 gene change. The goal was to find the best dose and see if the combination could help control the disease. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
