First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called uproleselan combined with standard chemotherapy (fludarabine and cytarabine) in children and teens with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that has returned or not responded to treatment. The drug aims to block leukemia cells from hiding in the bone marrow, making chemotherapy more effective. The study enrolls about 8 participants aged 1 to 18 and focuses on finding the safest dose and understanding how the drug works in the body.
