Venetoclax Basket Trial for High Risk Blood Cancers
This clinical study is testing a drug called venetoclax to see if it's safe to use with chemotherapy for young patients with certain blood cancers. These cancers include myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia from MDS (MDS/AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to find the safest dose of venetoclax that can be combined with other cancer drugs. The drug works by blocking a protein in cancer cells that helps them survive.
- The study is divided into two parts: the first part determines the dose, and the second part tests that dose.
- Participants will have regular check-ups and treatment sessions.
- This is a Phase I trial, meaning the drug is still being researched and not fully approved for children yet.
Participants must meet certain health requirements and should not have certain infections or conditions. Pregnant or nursing women cannot participate, and contraceptive use is necessary during the study.
