New drug duo tested in fight against tough leukemia

NCT ID NCT04666649

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety and best dose of a two-drug combination (venetoclax pills plus pegcrisantaspase infusions) for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or didn't respond to previous treatments. The goal was to see if this new combination could help control the disease, potentially leading to remission or allowing patients to proceed to a stem cell transplant. The study involved 27 participants and focused on finding a dose that was both effective and tolerable.
