study of bmn 673, a parp inhibitor, in patients with advanced hematological malignancies

Conditions: Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Myelodysplastic Syndrome; Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Summary: this is a two-arm, open-label study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (mtd) and assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of bmn 673 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml), myelodysplastic syndrome (mds), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) and mantle cell lymphoma (mcl). arm 1 will enroll patients with either aml or mds; arm 2 will enroll patients with either cll or mcl.
