Summary

This trial tests NEROFE, a new drug given through an IV, on patients with certain blood cancers to find a safe dose and see if it helps control their cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who haven't responded to standard treatments can join. They must have a certain level of disease risk, be in fair health, and their organs need to function well. People with severe liver or kidney issues, very high white blood cell counts without control measures, or poor venous access for blood sampling cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing NEROFE, a new hormone-peptide treatment for MDS and AML. It's given intravenously three times weekly based on body size. The study aims to find the safest dose that works best (RP2D).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of NEROFE are not detailed here but may include reactions related to IV administration and impacts on organ functions due to its novel hormonal nature.
