NCT ID NCT07651163

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests three different chemotherapy regimens in 450 young adults (ages 15-65) with intermediate- or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). All regimens include the experimental drug lisaftoclax plus standard chemotherapies. The main goal is to see which combination leads to the highest 2-year survival rate. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Lisaftoclax combined with standard chemotherapy drugs (daunorubicin, cytarabine, homoharringtonine, aclarubicin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective chemotherapy regimen for young adults with aggressive AML, potentially improving long-term survival.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with 450 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Chemotherapy side effects like infection and organ damage are significant risks.
