What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing an experimental drug called S241656, taken as a tablet, in people with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related blood cancers. The study aims to find a safe dose and see how the drug behaves in the body, both alone and when combined with another medication. Participants will receive the drug in 28-day cycles and be closely monitored for side effects and disease response.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an experimental drug called S241656, taken as tablets by mouth, sometimes combined with another drug (posaconazole)
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could point toward a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat myeloid blood cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 64 participants, so the drug may not prove safe or effective enough to move forward. Side effects are unknown and will be closely monitored.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2. * Investigator-assessed life expectancy of ≥ 3 months. * Able and willing to comply with requirements of the study protocol. * Documented genetic characterization of the disease as per local practice. * Clinical and laboratory thresholds: * Cytoreduction: white blood cell (WBC) \< 25 × 10⁹/L (hydroxyurea/cytarabine/leukapheresis allowed). * Renal: creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault). * Hepatic: aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (5 × if leukemic); Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (≤ 3 × ULN for Gilbert's syndrome). * Part 1 Only: Relapsed/Refractory (R/R), pathologically confirmed AML, MDS/AML, or CMML. * Part 1 Only: Must have failed ≥ 1 approved standard therapy and have no other approved standard options. Exclusion Criteria: * Known hypersensitivity to S241656, or Posaconazole (Part 1B). * Pregnant or breastfeeding; positive serum pregnancy test for WOCBP. * Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (French-American-British \[FAB\] M3 classification), MPN, mixed/ambiguous lineage, histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasms, or AML with isolated extramedullary disease (no marrow/blood involvement). * Active Central Nervous System (CNS) disease (by cytologic or radiographic evidence). * Failure to recover to ≤ Grade 1 from previous toxicities (except Grade 2 neuropathy/alopecia). * Major surgery within 4 weeks. * Any anticancer therapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (28 days for biologics). Cytoreduction with hydroxyurea or cytarabine is permitted. * Prior use of experimental KRAS/BRAF/MEK/ERK inhibitors (prior FLT3 inhibitors are permitted). * Uncontrolled infections (human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) permitted only if viral load is undetectable/controlled and specific cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ criteria are met). * Malabsorption, Crohn's, or chronic vomiting that impacts oral drug absorption. * History/risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO), glaucoma, or hyper-viscosity syndromes. * Other active malignancy requiring systemic therapy within 2 years (except non-melanoma skin cancer or localized/cured tumors). * Stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome within 6 months. * Congestive heart failure (CHF), clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias according to the investigator's judgement (e.g., ventricular tachycardia), complete left bundle branch block and high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block (e.g., bifascicular block, Mobitz type II- and third degree AV block). * Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) \> 470 msec or history of Torsades de pointes. * Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), significant coagulopathy according to the investigator's judgement, or uncontrolled bleeding. * Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) and potassium-competitive acid blockers ≥ 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. * Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) sensitive substrate or with a narrow therapeutic index (NTI) * All herbal preparations/supplements are prohibited.
