Summary

This trial will study the safety & efficacy of a drug, bexmarilimab, when combined with standard care for MDS, CMML or AML; Phase 1 to identify recommended dose, Phase 2 to assess preliminary efficacy.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain blood cancers like MDS, CMML-2, or AML who have specific risk levels or treatment histories can join. They need good kidney and liver function and a low enough white blood cell count. People with acute promyelocytic leukemia, poor physical status, recent transplants, active autoimmune diseases (with some exceptions), current heavy immunosuppression use, or recent other cancer treatments cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Bexmarilimab combined with standard treatments Azacitidine and Venetoclax in patients with specific types of blood cancers. It's in two phases: the first to find the safest dose level of Bexmarilimab and the second to see how well it works at that dose for these conditions.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, drugs like Bexmarilimab may cause immune-related effects since they target the body’s immune system. Standard care drugs can lead to side effects such as nausea, fatigue, bleeding problems and increased infection risk.
