  • 24 patients with relapsed or refractory AML received the mitochondrial metabolism inhibitor CPI-613 in combination with high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone.
  • The response rate was 54% (11 complete remissions + 2 complete remissions with incomplete count recovery).
  • Patients with poor risk cytogenetics tend to respond poorly to chemotherapy.
  • In this trial, the response rate of patients with poor risk cytogenetics was 53% (7/13).
