Triple-Drug cocktail aims to boost remission in acute myeloid leukemia

NCT ID NCT05654194

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

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether a combination of three drugs—azacitidine, venetoclax, and ATRA—can safely and effectively treat adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The drugs work together to stop cancer cell growth by demethylating DNA, promoting cell differentiation, and killing cancer cells. Participants receive the combination in cycles as induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapy. The main goal is to see how many patients achieve complete remission after the first cycle.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

azacitidine, venetoclax, and ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid)

What this could lead to

If successful, this three-drug combination could offer a more effective initial treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, potentially leading to higher remission rates without the need for intensive chemotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm, early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to all AML patients. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is not yet known if it improves long-term survival.
