First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study combines three chemotherapy drugs (cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine) with a targeted drug (quizartinib) to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It includes up to 80 adults who are newly diagnosed or whose cancer has returned or not responded to prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination improves event-free survival and overall survival while monitoring side effects.
