Full study description
brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MK-0482. There are 2 parts of this study. Part 1 is a dose escalation which will follow an accelerated titration design (ATD) for participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML or CMML. Part 2 is a dose expansion for participants with R/R AML.
detailed Description
In Part 1, single participants will be enrolled sequentially into escalating dose levels. Progression from one dose level to the next higher dose level will be based on the evaluation of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Once a preliminary RP2D is identified in Part 1, approximately 10 to 15 additional participants with R/R AML will be enrolled at the RP2D for Part 2.
