New drug cocktail aims to control aggressive blood cancers

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \>/= 18 years. 2. Diagnosis of MDS or CMML by WHO and: * MDS relapsed cohort (Cohort A): MDS with IPSS-R score \>3.5 and \>5% blasts with no response after 6 cycles of azacitidine, decitabine, guadecitabine or ASTX727 (decitabine/cedazuridine) or relapse or progression after any number of cycles * CMML relapsed cohort (Cohort B): CMML 1 or 2 with no response after 6 cycles of azacitidine, decitabine, guadecitabine or ASTX727 (decitabine/cedazuridine) or relapse or progression after any number of cycles * MDS HMA-naïve cohort (Cohort C): MDS with IPSS-R score \>3.5 and \>/= 10% blasts * CMML HMA-naïve cohort (Cohort D): CMML-2; OR CMML-1 with at least one of the following high-risk features: extramedullary disease, splenomegaly of \>5cm below costal margin or by sonographic volumetric assessment, platelets \<100x109/L, Hgb level \<10g/dL, WBC \>13x109/L, clonal cytogenetic abnormality (other than monosomy Y) or high risk mutations (ASXL1, RUNX1, SETBP1, BRAF, NRAS, KRAS, PTPN11, NF1, CBL). * MDS/MPN relapsed cohort (Cohort E): MDS/MPN-NOS, MDS/MPN with neutrophilia (atypical CML) or MDS/MPN-RS-T with \>5% blasts with no response after 6 cycles of azacitidine, decitabine, guadecitabine or ASTX727 (decitabine/cedazuridine) or relapse or progression after any number of cycles * MDS/MPN HMA-naïve cohort (Cohort F): MDS/MPN-NOS or MDS/MPN with neutrophilia (atypical CML) with * \>/=10% blasts or * with \>5% blasts at least one of the following high-risk features: splenomegaly \>5cm below costal margin, WBC \>13x109/L, high risk cytogenetic or molecular features (ASXL1, SETBP1, i(17q), TP53) or * who might not be deemed to benefit from HMA therapy due to proliferative or extramedullary disease. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of \</= 2 4. Creatinine clearance \> 30 ml/min no end/stage renal disease (using Cockcroft-Gault) 5. Adequate hepatic function with total bilirubin 2x ULN, AST or ALT 2.5 xULN unless deemed to be due to underlying disease involvement. 6. Willing to adhere to and comply with all prohibitions and restrictions specified in the protocol. 7. Patient must have signed an informed consent document indicating that the patient understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and is willing to participate in the study. 8.

Female patients who are pregnant or lactating. 5. Patients with reproductive potential who are unwilling to following contraception requirements (including condom use for males with sexual partners, and for females: prescription oral contraceptives \[birth control pills\], contraceptive injections, intrauterine devices \[IUD\], double-barrier method \[spermidical jelly or foam with condoms or diaphragm\], contraceptive patch, or surgical sterilization) throughout the study. 6. Female patients with reproductive potential who do not have a negative urine or blood beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta HCG) pregnancy test at screening. 7. Patients receiving any other concurrent investigational agent or chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy.
