New pill targets leukemia in early human trial
NCT ID NCT05918692
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental pill called BMF-500 in 35 adults with acute leukemia, especially those with a specific genetic mutation (FLT3). The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it can help control the disease. Participants must have leukemia that has come back or not improved after prior treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMF-500 (an oral FLT3 inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new targeted treatment option for patients with acute leukemia that has returned or not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 35 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not prove effective or could have significant side effects.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Individuals with histologically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory AML with documented FLT3 mutation, and/or Individuals with histologically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of their malignancy with wild-type FLT3 (including those with MLL1-R and NPM1 mutations). * ECOG performance status of 0-2. * Adequate liver and renal function * Adhere to the CYP3A4 inhibitor concomitant therapy use requirements, as follows: * Arm A: Participants must not have received a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor for at least 7 days prior to enrollment and are not anticipated to require such agents in the near term (for at least 4 weeks). * Arm B: Participants must have received a necessary azole antifungal(s) that is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (excluding other strong CYP3A4 inhibitor\[s\]) for at least 7 days prior to enrollment and be able to continue such azole antifungal(s) while on BMF-500 treatment for at least 4 weeks. * Arm C: Participants must have received necessary azole antifungal(s) that are moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (excluding other moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors) for at least 7 days prior to enrollment and be able to continue such azole antifungal(s) while on BMF-500 treatment for at least 4 weeks (Cycle 1). Key Exclusion Criteria: * Significant cardiovascular disease including unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled hypertension or arrhythmia, history of cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to the first dose of the trial intervention. * WBC count \>50,000/µL (uncontrollable with cytoreductive therapy). * Women who are pregnant or lactating or plan to become pregnant.
