This research aims to evaluate the safety, side effects, and best dose of SM08502 cirtuvivint alone and combined with ASTX727 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia AML and myelodysplastic syndromes MDS. The study focuses on relapsed or refractory AML and MDS, as well as frontline high-risk MDS. Cirtuvivint may work by blocking enzymes needed for cancer cell growth, while ASTX727 combines decitabine and cedazuridine to help bone marrow produce normal blood cells and kill abnormal cells. This phase I trial explores how these treatments affect patients, including their safety and potential anti-tumor activity. Participants are divided into three groups receiving different schedules of oral cirtuvivint Cohort I receives the drug daily on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26 of each 28-day cycle Cohort II receives it on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25 and Cohort III receives the same cirtuvivint schedule as Cohort II plus ASTX727 on days 1-5. These cycles repeat every 28 days unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Before treatment, patients undergo heart function tests echocardiography or MUGA scan and blood and bone marrow sample collections. During the study, patients continue blood and bone marrow sampling to monitor their response and safety. After treatment, they are followed for 30 days, then every three months for two years, and every six months for up to three more years. Researchers measure the maximum tolerated dose, recommended phase 2 dose, adverse events, clinical response, event-free survival, and overall survival. This comprehensive monitoring helps evaluate the treatments effects and guide future development.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | Cirtuvivint (alone or + ASTX727) | Oral decitabine‑cedazuridine (current standard) |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An experimental agent (cirtuvivint alone in relapsed/refractory AML or MDS; cirtuvivint combined with the oral hypomethylating agent ASTX727 in untreated high‑risk MDS) being evaluated for safety and recommended dose | Oral decitabine‑cedazuridine is a current standard-of-care hypomethylating therapy for AML and high‑risk MDS |
| Role in trial | Investigational treatment being tested in a Phase I dose‑finding trial | Not evaluated in the trial; included here for external clinical context |
| Primary use | To determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and recommended dose in relapsed/refractory AML or MDS and in combination in untreated high‑risk MDS | Used to treat AML and high‑risk MDS as a hypomethylating therapy where intravenous options are less feasible |
| How it is given or performed | Orally administered cirtuvivint alone or combined with oral decitabine‑cedazuridine (ASTX727) depending on cohort | Given orally as a fixed‑dose combination of decitabine and cedazuridine |
| Evidence status | Early phase safety and dosing data only; efficacy not yet established | Efficacy established in MDS and AML settings through prior studies and approvals |
| Important risks | Safety profile not yet established; risks under evaluation in this early‑phase trial | Known safety profile associated with hypomethylating therapy (e.g. myelosuppression) |
| Important limitations | Limited to dose‑finding; small cohorts without randomized control; unclear efficacy | May not be sufficient in relapsed/refractory or high‑risk disease; durability of response can be limited |

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
Duration - Until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Participants receive oral cirtuvivint alone or with ASTX727 in 28-day cycles depending on their assigned group. Treatment continues unless disease progresses or side effects are unacceptable. Heart function tests, blood samples, and bone marrow aspirations are done during this period.
Multiple visits during each 28-day cycle
Duration - Up to 5 years
After treatment ends, participants are monitored for 30 days, then every 3 months for 2 years, and every 6 months for up to 3 more years to observe long-term effects and survival.
