About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II Open Label Dose Confirmation, Proof of Concept Study of Siremadlin in Combination With Venetoclax Plus Azacitidine in Unfit Adult AML Participants Who Responded Sub-optimally to First-line Venetoclax Plus Azacitidine Treatment and in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Unfit AML Presenting With High-risk Clinical Features

A study of siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine in adult participants with AML who are ineligible for chemotherapy.

The primary purpose of this study was to assess whether siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine can enhance the clinical response in unfit AML participants without unacceptable levels of treatment-emergent toxicities.

Read the detailed description

The recommended dose of siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine was to be determined to be explored further in the expansion phase and the preliminary efficacy in achieving Complete Remission (CR) evaluated in participants who responded sub-optimally to first-line venetoclax plus azacitidine treatment.

The study was planned to be conducted in two parts. The primary purpose of Part 1 (Safety Run- in) was to rule out excessive toxicity of siremadlin when administered in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine while the primary purpose of Part 2 (Expansion) was to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of siremadlin when combined with venetoclax plus azacitidine in the respective patient population.

The study treatment (siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine) was administered in cycles with a planned duration of 28 days for each cycle and would continue until the participants experienced disease progression/relapse or unacceptable toxicity.

The initial enrollment plan and safety review was as follow:

  • In the Safety run-in part, 9-15 participants were planned to be enrolled in each arm. Approximately 3-6 participants were planned to be enrolled at the starting dose level of siremadlin in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine in both arms independently. Provided the starting dose level was determined to be safe, approximately 6-9 additional participants were planned to be enrolled at dose level +1. Safety review meetings were planned to take place involving participating investigators and the Sponsor Team to make decisions regarding siremadlin dose and determine the recommended dose for expansion.
  • Approximately 26 patients were planned to be treated at the recommended dose in the expansion part.

In the safety run-(Part 1) 10 sites in 7 countries enrolled 14 patients.

After enrolling 14 patients (6 patients in Arm 1 and 8 patients in Arm 2), Novartis took the decision to put the enrollment in permanent halt and terminate the siremadlin program. For that reason, the enrollment in Part 2 (expansion phase) did not open. The Novartis decision was not driven by any safety concerns.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as per investigator assessment reported during the first cycle (separately in Arm 1 & Arm 2)

    A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value considered by the Investigator to be at least possibly related to siremadlin as a single contributor or in combination with other component(s) of study treatment that occurs beginning the first day of siremadlin dosing in the study until end of cycle 1.

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 28 (28 days)

  2. Percentage of participants achieving a complete remission (CR) rate at recommended dose for expansion (RDE) as per investigator assessment (Arm 1 only)

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Israel, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Hungary and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as per investigator assessment reported during the first cycle (separately in Arm 1 & Arm 2) (time frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 28 (28 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 May 2026.
