Weekly pill cocktail aims to tame resistant blood cancers

NCT ID NCT07710534

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a once-weekly oral combination of decitabine-cedazuridine and venetoclax is safer and as effective as standard therapy for people with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or high-risk myeloproliferative neoplasms. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the new weekly regimen or the standard azacitidine-plus-venetoclax regimen. The study compares side effects and treatment-related complications between the two groups.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a weekly oral combination of decitabine-cedazuridine and venetoclax
What this could lead to
If successful, this weekly oral regimen could offer a more convenient and less toxic treatment option for people with hard-to-treat blood cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may still cause serious side effects like low blood counts and infections.
