An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 1b/2 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of KRT-232 When Administered Alone and in Combination With Low-Dose Cytarabine (LDAC) or Decitabine in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

March 21, 2024 updated by: Kartos Therapeutics, Inc.
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, when administered alone and in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) or Decitabine for the treatment of adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and AML secondary to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Participants must be relapsed/refractory (having failed prior therapy) and will be assigned to receive monotherapy (KRT-232 alone) or combination therapy (KRT-232 with LDAC or KRT-232 with Decitabine).
