Study Summary

This trial is studying KRT-232, a new drug that may help treat AML or MPN. Patients who have failed other treatments may be eligible to participate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who have not responded to previous treatments. It's open to those with AML following a myeloproliferative disorder, provided they've had certain prior therapies and their liver and kidneys are functioning well. However, it excludes recent recipients of high-dose cytarabine or decitabine, those who've had a stem cell transplant within the last 3 months, or anyone currently dealing with graft-versus-host disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests KRT-232 alone or combined with low-dose Cytarabine (LDAC) or Decitabine in treating AML. Participants will be assigned to either monotherapy with KRT-232 or combination therapy where KRT-232 is paired with one of the other drugs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, blood count abnormalities which can increase infection risk, liver and kidney function changes, fatigue, and possible allergic reactions related to drug infusion.
