Detailed Description

The Phase 1 will consist of a dose escalation of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with azacitidine to evaluate safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose of ALX148 in combination with azacitidine. The Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with azacitidine compared to azacitidine alone for patients with previously untreated higher risk MDS.
