π "Do I Qualify?" β 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Concomitant other anti-cancer therapy and/or participation in any other investigational clinical trials except for hydroxyurea. Concurrent hydroxyurea use should be limited to the first 2 cycles of therapy only.
- History of another primary invasive malignancy that has not been definitively treated and is in remission. Participants with non-melanoma skin cancers or with carcinomas in situ are eligible regardless of the time from diagnosis (including concomitant diagnoses).
- Presence of clinically significant uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) pathology such as epilepsy, childhood seizure, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis.
- Evidence of active cerebral/meningeal disease. Participants may have history of CNS leukemic involvement if definitively treated with prior therapy and no evidence of active disease at the time of consent with at least 2 consecutive spinal fluid negative assessments for residual leukemia and negative imaging (imaging required only if previously showing evidence of CNS leukemia not otherwise documented by spinal fluid assessment).
- Participants with uncontrolled, active infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal) or other disease expected to interfere with the ability of the PI to assess the efficacy of the study drug. Infections controlled on concurrent anti-microbial agents are acceptable, and anti-microbial prophylaxis per institutional guidelines are acceptable.
- Known active hepatitis B (eg, HBsAg reactive), or hepatitis C (eg, HCV RNA \[qualitative\] is detected), or chronic hepatitis B or C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in medical history (historical results within 6 months prior to informed consent is acceptable), with the following exceptions: a. Those with a history of hepatitis with a negative polymerase chain reaction (either qualitative or quantitative) OR have documentation of stable disease with aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \<2.0Γupper limit of normal (ULN) may be eligible for this study. b) Subjects with history of HIV who have an undetectable viral load for the prior 3 months, and who agree to maintain antiviral therapy, may be eligible for the study.
- Liver cirrhosis or other serious active liver disease or with suspected active alcohol abuse.
- Exclude participants with active GVHD and those on immunosuppressive drugs for treatment of GVHD. Require that participants be off calcineurin inhibitors for at least 4 weeks to be eligible.
- Prior chemotherapy/radiotherapy/investigational therapy within 2 weeks before the start of study drugs with the following exception: a. To reduce the circulating blast count or palliation: intravenous cytarabine, steroids or hydroxyurea. No washout necessary for these agents.
- Females who are pregnant or lactating.
- Male or female subjects of childbearing potential, unwilling to use an approved, effective means of contraception.
