This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) who have relapsed or are refractory or intolerant to a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI).
This study is a global, open label Phase 1b/2 to determine the efficacy and safety of KRT-232 in patients with chronic phase CML (CML-CP) and accelerated phase (CML-AP) who have failed TKI treatments.

- Part 1: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) of KRT-232 [ Time Frame: 28 Days ]DLTs will be used to establish the MTD/MAD of KRT-232 in combination with dasatinib or nilotinib
- Part 2, Arm A and B: Major molecular response (MMR) rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The proportion of subjects who achieved complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) according to modified ELN criteria
- Part 2, Arm C: Major hematological response (MaHR) rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The proportion of subjects who achieved MaHR according to modified ELN criteria
- CCyR rate [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The proportion of subjects who achieved CCyR or PCyR according to modified ELN criteria in Arms A and B
- MCyR rate [ Time Frame: 47 months ]The proportion of subjects who achieved CCyR or PCyR according to modified ELN criteria in Arm C
- Duration of response [ Time Frame: 47 months ]DOR (Kaplan-Meier estimate) defined as the time from first observation of response to progression/relapse or death, whichever comes first
- Rate of complete hematologic response (CHR) [ Time Frame: 47 months ]The proportion of subjects who achieve a CHR according to modified ELN criteria in Arms A and B
- Progression-free survival (PFS) in each Arm [ Time Frame: 47 months ]PFS is defined as the time from the first treatment dose date to progression/relapse or death, whichever comes first
- Overall survival (OS) in each Arm [ Time Frame: 47 months ]OS is defined as the time from the first treatment dose date to death from any cause
