This is an open-label, phase 2 study of oral arsenic trioxide (Arsenol ®) in combination with ascorbic acid and investigator choice of low-intensity therapy in patients with previously untreated or relapse/refractory TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled prospectively. Approximately 15 patients will be previously untreated and 15 patients will be relapsed or refractory to 1 or more lines of therapy. Oral arsenic trioxide (oral-ATO) (Arsenol ®) will be used in combination with ascorbic acid, and investigator choice of low-intensity therapy that comprised hypomethylating agent (HMA) with or without venetoclax. The choice of hypomethylating agents include subcutaneous (s.c.) / intravenous (i.v.) azacitidine, i.v. decitabine or oral-decitabine-cedazuridine. Patients will be treated in 28-day days cycles. Pending study team review of the tolerability, hematologic response, and molecular response to the combination, a future randomized Phase 2 efficacy study may be planned.
