Early trial probes adding old drug to tough leukemia fight in kids

NCT ID NCT03568994

Summary

This early study tested whether a drug called atovaquone could be safely given alongside standard chemotherapy to children and young adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers wanted to see if patients could tolerate the combined treatment and to measure how much of the atovaquone stayed in their blood. The main goal was to gather information on safety and dosing to see if this combination is worth studying further.
