New combo aims to keep leukemia in check after remission

NCT ID NCT07539818

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding venetoclax to azacitidine as maintenance therapy helps adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stay in remission longer. About 788 patients who achieved first remission after initial treatment will receive either azacitidine alone or azacitidine plus venetoclax for up to 12 cycles. The main goal is to see if the combination improves disease-free survival.
