Brief summary

This trial seeked to extend the preliminary findings of efficacy by evaluating MBG453 in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMA) and also Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax.

Detailed description

The primary purpose of Part 1 (Safety Run-in) was to rule out excessive toxicity of MBG453, when administered in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax. The primary purpose of the combined Part 1 and Part 2 (Safety run-in and Expansion Part) was to evaluate efficacy of MBG453, when administered in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in adult patients with newly diagnosed AML, who were not suitable for treatment with intensive chemotherapy. Originally, there was an analysis planned of the complete response (CR) rate, after all subjects had completed at least 12 cycles of treatment (each cycle = 28 Days) or discontinued earlier. As Novartis decided to end the development of this compound, this primary analysis was skipped and only the final study analysis presented here. At the final analysis timepoint, there was only 1 patient who didn't completed the 12 cycles of treatment or discontinued earlier.
