Study #2020-0128
A phase I/II study of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine in relapsed/refractory high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML)
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Azacitidine, Venetoclax
Description
This phase I/II trial investigates the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with azacitidine and to see how well it works in treating patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax and azacitidine together may help to control myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
