Testing cirtuvivint alone and with ASTX727 for leukemia and MDS
This trial tests a new drug called cirtuvivint, given alone or with another drug (ASTX727), for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) that has come back or not responded to treatment, and for people with high-risk MDS who have not been treated before. The goal is to see if these combinations work better than current options.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mds (myelodysplastic syndrome)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 231 recruiting mds (myelodysplastic syndrome) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a mds (myelodysplastic syndrome) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a mds (myelodysplastic syndrome) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
