Higher chemo dose may boost survival in rare leukemia subtype

NCT ID NCT06744504

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial is testing whether a higher dose of the chemotherapy drug cytarabine, given with standard drugs, improves survival for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has a specific genetic change called RUNX1-RUNX1T1. The study will enroll 300 adults aged 14 to 60. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a standard or intermediate dose of cytarabine during their first round of treatment, followed by additional therapy. The main goal is to see if the higher dose leads to longer overall survival.

Active substance

cytarabine combined with daunorubicin, idarubicin, or cyclophosphamide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a higher dose of cytarabine during initial treatment improves survival for people with a specific type of AML.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial, but it focuses on a rare genetic subtype of AML. Higher chemotherapy doses may increase side effects and risks without guaranteeing better outcomes.
