Study Summary

This trial tests whether a combo of meds can better reduce bone marrow cancer symptoms in certain types of leukemia.

Who is the study for?
Adults with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm who haven't had specific previous treatments for these conditions. Participants must be able to swallow pills, have a certain level of heart and organ function, and not have uncontrolled illnesses. Pregnant women are excluded, and participants must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if combining Venetoclax with ASTX727 (a mix of Decitabine and Cedazuridine) is more effective than ASTX727 alone in reducing symptoms of bone marrow cancer in patients with CMML or MDS/MPN with excess blasts.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to blood cell production, digestive system disturbances, liver enzyme changes, kidney function impairment, potential infection risk increase due to immune suppression, fatigue, and possible allergic reactions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (ASTX727, venetoclax)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD for 5 consecutive days starting on day 3 of treatment cycle 1; followed by day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive venetoclax PO QD on days 1 through 14 of each treatment cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsies, and collection of blood and buccal samples throughout the study.
Group II: Arm II (ASTX727)Active Control4 Interventions
Patients receive ASTX727 PO QD for 5 consecutive days starting on day 3 of treatment cycle 1; followed by day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who do not have response to treatment may cross over to Arm I. Patients also undergo bone marrow biopsies, and collection of blood and buccal samples throughout the study.
