New hope for frailest leukemia patients: gentler chemo combo tested

NCT ID NCT02286726

Summary

This study tested a new, packaged form of two standard chemotherapy drugs (CPX-351) for adults newly diagnosed with a fast-growing blood cancer called AML. The patients were older or had other health problems, putting them at high risk of severe side effects from standard treatment. Researchers aimed to find the best dose to control the cancer while minimizing dangerous toxicity.
