Study Summary

This trial is studying the side effects and best dose of a combination of venetoclax, cedazuridine, and decitabine in treating patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia who have not received prior treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, who have normal liver and kidney function tests, can join. They must not be pregnant, agree to contraception during the trial and for 3 months after, and cannot have had prior BCL2 inhibitor therapy or certain infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and optimal dosage of venetoclax in combination with ASTX727 (cedazuridine plus decitabine) on patients. It aims to understand how these drugs work together to stop cancer cell growth by killing them or preventing their spread.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical chemotherapy reactions like fatigue, nausea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, liver issues reflected in altered blood tests, and possibly others depending on individual health conditions.
