What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation study in adolescents and adults with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. Patients will receive continuous oral MRX-2843 in 28 day cycles at predefined dose cohorts.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, certain medications like systemic antineoplastic therapy, calcineurin inhibitors, and some anticoagulants are not allowed close to the start of the study. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the study team.
