First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, venetoclax and azacitidine, for people with a high-risk type of bone marrow cancer called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that either came back or didn't respond to treatment. The goal was to find the best dose and see how well it worked. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but it aimed to control the disease rather than cure it.
