Summary

"This trial aims to show how a specific and personalized treatment plan can help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are at risk of relapse. Specific eligibility criteria details were not provided, so it's important to consult the trial organizers for more information on who can participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of MBG-453 and Azacitidine as a treatment strategy for AML. It aims to assess how effective this tailored therapy is in preventing early relapse and managing clonal evolution in AML patients.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, treatments like MBG-453 and Azacitidine may cause immune system reactions, blood cell count changes, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, or injection site reactions.
