Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To determine, during the dose escalation phase, the recommended dose of zelenirstat for the dose expansion phase of the trial.

The recommended dose will be the dose level below that for the cohort in which maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached/exceeded. MTD will have been reached when 2 or more patients in a cohort experience DLT.

Time frame
Up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes

1

To evaluate the clinical response rate in patients treated with zelenirstat with AML.

Tumor response and progression of AML will be evaluated by the investigator at each study center.

Time frame
Up to 18 months
