Abstract
PURPOSE: The outcome of patients with refractory leukemia and myelodysplasia is poor, and new therapies are needed. The antiapoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family are overexpressed in these malignancies and are potential therapeutic targets. Therefore, we conducted a phase I clinical trial of the small-molecule pan-Bcl-2 inhibitor, obatoclax mesylate, in patients with refractory leukemia and myelodysplasia to assess its safety and define its optimal dose. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Forty-four patients with refractory leukemia or myelodysplasia were treated with obatoclax mesylate by continuous intravenous infusion at increasing doses and frequencies. RESULTS: A total of 306 infusions of obatoclax mesylate were administered with a median of 5 infusions per patient. The study drug was well tolerated up to the highest dose planned without dose-limiting toxicity. Grade 1/2 central nervous system symptoms were the most common adverse events attributable to the study drug. One patient with acute myeloid leukemia with mixed lineage leukemia t(9;11) rearrangement achieved a complete remission, which lasted 8 months. Three of 14 patients with myelodysplasia showed hematologic improvement with RBC or platelet transfusion independence. CONCLUSIONS: Obatoclax mesylate is well tolerated and these results support its further investigation in patients with leukemia and myelodysplasia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
