Clinical summary

Summary

This trial will run across two treatment arms. In Treatment Arm 1, eligible patients will receive HDM201 in combination with MBG453. In Treatment Arm 2, patients will receive HDM201 in combination with venetoclax, which will be gradually increased (ramp-up) over a period of 4 to 5 days to achieve the daily target dose tested that will be subsequently continued.
