KPT-9274 for the Treatment of Recurrent and Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase I trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of an oral PAK4/NAMPT inhibitor ATG-019 (KPT-9274) for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (recurrent), or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). KPT-9274 is an enzyme inhibitor whose action leads to anti-tumor effects through energy depletion, inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair, cell cycle arrest, proliferation inhibition, and cell death. KPT-9274 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
