MLN4924 for the Treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome

In brief

An open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of MLN4924 in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The patient population will consist of adults previously diagnosed with AML including high-grade MDS for which standard curative, life-prolonging treatment does not exist or is no longer effective.
