By Josh Beckerman

Syros Pharmaceuticals shares fell 70% to $1.54 after hours as the company said it will discontinue enrollment in a clinical trial evaluating its tamibarotene in combination with two other drugs in certain patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

The SELECT-AML-1 Phase 2 trial is evaluating tamibarotene in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine, compared to the regimen of venetoclax and azacitidine.

Syros said that after an interim analysis, the probability for success of the SELECT-AML-1 study to demonstrate superiority at the final analysis was considered low.

There were no new safety signals associated with the combination. Patients currently enrolled in SELECT-AML-1 will have the opportunity to remain on study at the discretion of study investigators.

Syros continues to evaluate tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine in the SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 clinical with certain myelodysplastic syndrome patients.
