Ziftomenib for the Treatment of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Following Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of ziftomenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) following a donor hematopoietic cell transplant. Donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), a transplant of the blood forming cells from donors, is a potential cure for most patients with AML. The most common reason for long-term failure after HCT remains disease relapse, which requires new strategies to improve the durability of transplant and survival. Many AML patients have molecular mutations that are associated with menin dependency. Ziftomenib prevents the interaction between two proteins, menin and MLL, that are needed for cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving ziftomenib may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with AML, ALL, or MDS after allogeneic HCT.
