Enrollment discontinued in SELECT-AML-1 Ph 2 trial of tamibarotene + venetoclax & azacitidine in newly diagnosed, unfit AML patients with RARA gene overexpression
“We are disappointed by this unexpected outcome, especially for people living with AML,” said David A. Roth, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Syros. “In our prior Phase 2 clinical trial, the doublet combination of tamibarotene and azacitidine delivered a 61% CR/CRi rate in newly diagnosed AML patients with RARA overexpression.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering tamibarotene for the treatment of HR-MDS and look forward to sharing pivotal data from SELECT-MDS-1 by mid-fourth quarter.”
