Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, onvansertib, to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with a certain type of leukemia. Onvansertib works by inhibiting an enzyme called PLK1, which prevents cancer cell proliferation and causes cell death.

Who is the study for?
Adults with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that's returned or isn't responding to treatment, who've had specific prior treatments and have a certain level of health (good organ function, no severe concurrent illnesses). They must be able to consent, complete questionnaires, provide samples for research, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Onvansertib's safety and optimal dose. It involves collecting biological specimens and performing bone marrow biopsies plus ultrasound imaging. Onvansertib targets an enzyme in cancer cells to stop their growth and cause cell death.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not explicitly listed here, drugs like Onvansertib typically may cause fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Organ-specific inflammation could also occur.
