A Phase 1 Study of AOH1996 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (NCT06763341)

🟢 Recruiting Phase1 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase 1 trial tests safety, side effects, and best dose of AOH1996 for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or AML that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). AOH1996 is in a class of medications called PCNA inhibitors. It inhibits cancer growth and induces deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and damage cancer cell DNA. Giving AOH1996 may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with AML.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (22 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (23 items).

Location: City of Hope Medical Center — Duarte, California
