Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of guadecitabine when given with atezolizumab to see if the combination can effectively treat patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. Participants must have tried specific drugs before, be able to follow the study plan, and not be pregnant or fathering a child. They should also meet certain health criteria like normal organ function tests.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well guadecitabine works with atezolizumab in treating MDS/CMML. Guadecitabine may block enzymes needed for cancer cell growth, while atezolizumab, an antibody, might stop cancer cells from growing and spreading.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system affecting organs, infusion-related reactions such as fever or chills, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, blood disorders including low counts of various types of cells which can increase infection risk.
