Study Summary

"This trial aims to see if ASTX727 alone or with donor lymphocyte infusion can effectively treat certain blood cancers after a stem cell transplant."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have undergone a stem cell transplant and are now dealing with certain types of blood cancers. Participants should meet specific health criteria set by the researchers to ensure they can safely receive the treatments being tested.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing ASTX727, an oral medication, alone or combined with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), to see if it can control blood-based cancers after a stem cell transplant. It's in early stages (Phase I/II) to assess effectiveness and safety.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions associated with cancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, and possible complications from DLI like graft-versus-host disease.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
If participants do not test positive for MRD, you will be enrolled in Group 2. Participants in this group will only receive ASTX727. If participants are enrolled in Group 2, the participant will take ASTX727 on Days 1-3 of each cycle.
Group II: Group 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
If participants test positive for minimal residual disease (MRD), participants will be enrolled in Group 1. MRD refers to small numbers of cancer cells that remain in the body during or after treatment. Participants in this group will receive ASTX727 and DLI. If participants are enrolled in Group 1, the participant will take ASTX727 on Days 1-4 of each cycle.
