This study tests an oral form of arsenic in people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who need regular red blood cell transfusions and haven't gotten enough benefit from standard treatments. It aims to see if this drug can help reduce transfusion needs.
This trial tests a combination of oral medications, including arsenic trioxide, venetoclax, and a chemotherapy agent (azacitidine or decitabine), for people with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, or CMML) that have a TP53 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this pill-based treatment can help control the cancer.
This study tests whether folinic acid (a type of B vitamin) can help improve symptoms of autism in children. Researchers want to see if this supplement, combined with your child's current treatments, might make a difference.
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (a supplement-like medicine) can help people with alcohol use disorder reduce or stop drinking. You may be randomly assigned to receive N-acetylcysteine or a comparison treatment, and you’ll complete interviews during the study.
This trial studies how well a combination of tretinoin (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO)—with or without another antibody-like drug called gemtuzumab—treats people with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The goal is to see if these medicines work better together and are safe.
This study tests whether folinic acid (a B-vitamin supplement) can help improve autism symptoms in children ages 3–6. Folinic acid may support brain function, and researchers want to see if it works better than placebo (a dummy pill).
