Phase I Study of C6 Ceramide NanoLiposome (CNL) in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (RR-AML)
Keystone Nano, Inc
Summary
The study objective is to evaluate patient safety for patients with refractory and relapsed AML being treated with Ceramide NanoLiposome (CNL) .
Description
The research team has shown that C6 ceramide nanoliposome (CNL) has anti-cancer activity in laboratory models of AML and that when it is combined with other cancer-fighting drugs, it works better. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of CNL given without other cancer treatments in patients with AML where either their initial treatment didn't work or it stopped working and the AML came back (refractory or relapsed AML, aka RR-AML). This study seeks to determine the right dose to start with in later studies when CNL is combined with other drugs in potential future studies.…
