Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, APG-115, to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, adequate organ function, an ECOG performance status of ≤2, and no severe allergies to the treatments. Pregnant women and those not using contraception are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study examines APG-115 alone or combined with Azacitidine in patients with certain blood cancers. Initially, it will assess the safety of APG-115 as a single agent; then it will test the combination therapy's effectiveness against these diseases.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to medication components, issues from uncontrolled infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, heart problems such as congestive heart failure or arrhythmias, and complications related to recent stem cell transplants.
