New drug combo aims to boost stem cell transplant success for tough blood cancers

NCT ID NCT07044544

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether adding two drugs, decitabine and venetoclax, to a standard reduced-intensity stem cell transplant can safely help control high-risk myeloid cancers like acute myeloid leukemia. About 20 adults aged 18-75 with a matched donor will receive the drugs alongside the transplant. The main goal is to find a safe dose and watch for serious side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Decitabine and Venetoclax

What this could lead to

If this works, it could lead to a safer and more effective way to control high-risk myeloid cancers using a stem cell transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 20 people, so it's mainly checking safety. The added drugs may cause serious side effects, and it's too soon to know if they will improve outcomes.
