Sorafenib Maintenance Therapy for Patients With AML After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Acute Myeloid Leukemia

In brief

Sorfenib works by slowing the spread of cancer cells. It has been used in other studies for patients with AML with the FLT3-ITD mutation and information from these studies suggests that sorafenib may help to control leukemia. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of sorafenib for maintenance therapy that can be safely used in participants with AML who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplant.
