Summary

This study tests whether combining three drugs—tretinoin, arsenic trioxide, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin—works better than standard treatment for adults newly diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). About 151 participants will receive the drug combination. The goal is to see if it can keep the cancer from coming back longer than current treatments.
