Rezatapopt in Combination with Azacitidine with or without Venetoclax for the Treatment of TP53Y220C Mutant Relapsed, Refractory or Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Trial Status: active

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of rezatapopt in combination with azacitidine with or without venetoclax in treating patients with TP53Y220C mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or is newly diagnosed. Rezatapopt targets the mutated form of the TP53 protein to restore its function, which may help the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. 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. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving rezatapopt in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with TP53Y220C mutant relapsed, refractory or newly diagnosed AML or MDS.
