Study Summary

This trial is to find the best dose and side effects of tegavivint for treating leukemia that has come back or doesn't respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with relapsed or refractory leukemia who haven't had leukemia treatment in the past 14 days (except hydroxyurea until starting this trial) can join. They must have acceptable liver and kidney function, a heart ejection fraction of at least 45%, and be physically able to participate (ECOG <=2). Women must not be pregnant, all participants must agree to use contraception, and they cannot have uncontrolled illnesses or hypersensitivity to the drugs used.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This phase I trial is testing Tegavivint combined with Decitabine for adults with leukemia that has returned after treatment or hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to determine the best dose of Tegavivint and understand its side effects when used alongside Decitabine.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include risks associated with enzyme inhibition that may affect cell growth, which could lead to fatigue, digestive issues, blood disorders, possible organ inflammation due to drug interactions, as well as specific reactions related to each drug's profile.
