NCT ID NCT06930352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called ziftomenib in 70 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene changes (NPM1 or KMT2A) and cannot receive standard chemotherapy. Ziftomenib blocks a protein called menin that helps cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the leukemia and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
