Medication research snapshot

No clinical trials have been linked to this exact normalized concept in the current published dataset. This is a coverage limitation, not evidence that the condition or medicine has never been studied. Try a synonym or browse registry-reported labels.

Numbers are derived from CureCurrent's current ClinicalTrials.gov projection and conservative MONDO/RxNorm mappings. See sources, counting rules and limitations and verify eligibility or clinical findings with the original study record.

Understanding this RxNorm record

RxNorm identifiers distinguish ingredients, specific strengths, dose forms, and branded products. They help connect equivalent terminology across data sources; an RxNorm entry does not by itself establish that a product is currently marketed, approved for a particular use, or appropriate for an individual.

Clinical-trial associations reflect registry-reported intervention names and verified mappings where available. A medication listed in a trial may be investigational for that condition. Consult the original study record and official prescribing information for indications and safety details.

Background context

Omacetaxine mepesuccinate

Omacetaxine mepesuccinate (INN; trade name Synribo; formerly named as homoharringtonine or HHT) is a pharmaceutical drug substance that is indicated for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Omacetaxine approval in US is discontinued (August 2024)[1][2] and is no longer recommended for treatment of CML (as of NCCN CML guidance 3.2025) [3]. HHT is a natural plant alkaloid derived from Cephalotaxus fortunei. HHT and related compound esters of cephalotaxine were described first in 1970, and were the subject of intensive research efforts by Chinese investigators to clarify their role as anticancer and antileukemic agents from the 1970s until the present. It was approved by the US FDA in October 2012 for the treatment of adult patients with CML with resistance and/or intolerance to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
