New drug combo aims to keep deadly blood cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT04062266

Summary

This study is testing whether a two-drug combination (azacitidine and venetoclax) can help keep acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from returning in patients who have achieved remission. The trial will enroll 50 adults with AML who are in remission but are not immediate candidates for a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this maintenance therapy can extend the time patients remain cancer-free and improve survival.
