Summary
This trial is testing pevonedistat + decitabine to treat patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia. This may stop cancer cell growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 60 or older with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), either newly diagnosed, untreated and not candidates for standard chemotherapy, or those with relapsed/refractory disease. It includes younger AML patients unfit for stem cell transplant. Participants must have a life expectancy over 6 months, be able to perform daily activities (ECOG <=2), and use effective contraception if of childbearing potential.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of two drugs: pevonedistat and decitabine, to determine their safety and optimal dosages in treating high-risk AML. The goal is to see if these drugs can halt cancer growth by inhibiting enzymes necessary for cell proliferation.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from pevonedistat and decitabine may include fatigue, nausea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver issues, kidney function changes, and possible allergic reactions.

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on assessment of DLT
Secondary study objectives
Complete remission (CR) rate assessed by International Working Group criteria
Overall response rate (ORR) (CR + incomplete CR [CRi]) assessed by International Working Group criteria
Other study objectives

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- You do not have any other active cancer except for certain types that have been cured or treated a long time ago.You have a serious medical or mental health condition that could affect your ability to participate in the study.You have not taken any experimental medications within the 2 weeks before starting the study.You have a condition where the disease has spread to your brain or spinal cord.You are 60 years or older and your disease has come back or is not responding to treatment.If you have cancer cells that have spread outside of your bone marrow, you may still be eligible for the study if you meet other criteria.You have other medical conditions, but they are not expected to shorten your life expectancy within the next six months.You should be able to perform daily activities without assistance.You are a young patient with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or is not responding to treatment, and you cannot receive a stem cell transplant.Women who can have children and men must use effective birth control methods or abstain from sex during the study and for 4 months after it ends, because it is not known how the study drugs may affect a developing fetus. If a woman becomes pregnant or thinks she might be pregnant while in the study, she should tell her doctor right away.You are 60 years or older and have recently been diagnosed with a condition that requires chemotherapy. However, you do not want to undergo the standard treatment of cytarabine/anthracyclines or are not eligible for it.If you have sex and it is part of your regular lifestyle, you must use a reliable form of birth control. Avoiding sex during certain times or using less reliable methods like withdrawal or spermicides are not acceptable forms of birth control.You may have had a bone marrow transplant for leukemia or other diseases.You can take hydroxyurea to control your blood count before and during the first cycle of treatment, but not after that.You are a younger adult with a certain type of high-risk disease that requires aggressive treatment with chemotherapy and/or a stem cell transplant, but you do not want to or cannot undergo these treatments.You are either postmenopausal for at least a year, have had a surgical procedure to prevent pregnancy, or are not currently pregnant but have the ability to become pregnant.You can have had any number of previous chemotherapy treatments.You have a serious illness that is not related to cancer and could be life-threatening.I'm sorry, but the criterion you provided is incomplete. Can you please provide me with more details so that I can summarize it for you?You are currently breastfeeding or pregnant.
