Can a pill tackle Tough-to-Treat leukemia?
NCT ID NCT07751991
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental oral medicine called CHM-029 in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or not responded to standard treatments, and that carries specific genetic changes (NPM1 mutations or KMT2A/NUP98 rearrangements). The main goals are to find a safe dose, understand side effects, and see how the body processes the drug. Participants receive increasing doses of CHM-029 and are monitored with blood tests, ECGs, and bone marrow checks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CHM-029, an investigational oral drug
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for adults with hard-to-treat AML that has specific genetic changes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work as hoped or may cause unexpected side effects. The results will need confirmation in larger studies.
