Treatment: MK-4208 — Researchers are looking for a new way to treat a blood cancer called chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Researchers want to learn if MK-4208 (Tern-701) can treat this type of blood cancer. The goal of this study is to learn about the safety of different doses (amounts) of MK-4208 (Tern-701) and if people tolerate them. Researchers also want to find the highest dose of MK-4208 (Tern-701) that people can tolerate and may work to treat blood cancer.
