NCT ID NCT07651176

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

Summary

This clinical trial compares three different chemotherapy regimens for young adults (ages 18-65) newly diagnosed with low-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). One regimen includes a new drug called lisaftoclax combined with standard chemotherapy drugs. The study aims to see which combination leads to the longest time without the cancer returning or getting worse. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups and followed for two years.

Active substance

Lisaftoclax, daunorubicin, cytarabine, homoharringtonine, aclarubicin

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify a more effective chemotherapy combination for young adults with low-risk AML, potentially improving long-term survival without relapse.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial, so results may not confirm superiority. Adding lisaftoclax could increase side effects like bone marrow suppression or infections.
