Summary

This trial is testing new treatment combinations for people with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with MDS/MPN overlap syndromes who haven't had certain treatments, can undergo bone marrow procedures, and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months. They must be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance (ECOG status 0-2) and have proper liver and kidney function. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those unwilling to use contraception, or individuals with recent other cancer treatments are excluded.
What is being tested?
The ABNL-MARRO study tests combinations of itacitinib (a drug targeting myeloid cells) and ASTX727 (an oral tablet combining decitabine and cedazuridine) in patients with MDS/MPN overlap syndromes. It's an open-label phase 1/2 trial where the effectiveness of these drugs together will be evaluated.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to bone marrow procedures, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding tendencies, fatigue from treatment, possible liver or kidney function alterations due to medication toxicity, as well as any individual allergies or intolerances.
