Updated on 29 May 2024. Study ID: NCT05086315

This study investigates the safety and effects of an investigational medication in people with certain blood cancers, known as hematological malignancies. These include diseases like acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other related conditions. The purpose is to understand how the medication works in the body and its potential anti-cancer effects.

Participants will undergo various procedures during the study, including taking the investigational medication. The study will observe how the body processes and responds to the medication. Participants will be monitored for any side effects and changes in their condition.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be at least 1 year old. The adult arm includes participants aged 12 and older, and the pediatric arm includes those aged 1 to 17. The study includes both children and adults with specific types of blood cancers, such as AML, B-ALL, and BPDCN, who have no other treatment options available.
  • Study details: Participants will receive an investigational medication and will be monitored for its effects.
  • Study Timelines: The study will last 2.5 years.
