Trial design
Randomised, open-label, two arms: vac (cusatuzumab 20 mg/kg iv on day 3 and day 17 of the 28-day cycle in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine 75 mg/m2 sc or iv on days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle) versus va (venetoclax and azacitidine 75 mg/m2 sc or iv on days 1-7 of each 28-day cycle). part b notes cusatuzumab 10 mg/kg iv on day 3 and 17 for cycles 1 and 2 then 20 mg/kg iv on day 3 and day 17 for cycle 3 and beyond, with venetoclax and azacitidine as above.-controlled, adaptive Phase II trial in Germany, Spain.
