Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, venetoclax and azacitidine, in 34 adults with high-risk blood cancers (MDS or CMML) that returned or didn't respond to earlier treatment. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combo could shrink or control the cancer. The study was stopped early, but the results may still help doctors understand how to treat these hard-to-manage conditions.
