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 if combining interferon-α with arsenic trioxide (ATO) can help people whose acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has stopped responding to arsenic treatment. If you have this type of leukemia that came back or didn't get better after arsenic therapy, this study may offer a new option.
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 trial tests whether a form of folic acid (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) can help people with fatty liver disease. It may improve liver health by supporting fat and sugar processing.
This study tests whether taking a high dose of folic acid changes body pathways involved in DNA (genetic material) formation. It may help researchers understand how folate affects cells, which could be relevant to health and growth.
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.
