What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will go through a screening period to find out if you are eligible. During this screening period, you will:
- Have a physical exam
- Have a heart scan (ECG)
- Have blood draws
- Have bone marrow samples taken
After the screening period, this study is divided into 2 different phases. During Phase 1a, increasing doses of the study drug will be given together with AZA and VEN. During Phase 1b/2, the study drug will be given at a dose selected from Phase 1a in combination with AZA and VEN. Whether you participate in Phase 1a or Phase 1b/2 depends on when you join the study.
In either phase of the study, you will:
- Receive the study drug as an infusion (IV) either every 2 or 4 weeks
- Receive AZA as an infusion or injection (shot) once daily for a 7-day period every 4 weeks
- Take VEN by mouth once a day
Once you stop taking the study drug, you will enter a follow up period. The study team will call you approximately every 8 weeks for up to 3 years to see how you are feeling.
