Summary

This trial tests if combining a new drug with existing cancer treatments can make them more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that didn't respond to initial treatment or came back after. They should be in fairly good health otherwise, able to follow the study plan, and not have had a stem cell transplant recently or other cancers within the last year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Ceramide NanoLiposome (Ceraxa), which might boost the effectiveness of standard cancer drugs against AML. Participants will receive CNL combined with conventional treatments to see if this improves outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of CNL are not listed here, common ones from similar cancer therapies include nausea, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to low blood counts, liver issues, and potential heart problems.
