NCT ID NCT01627041

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a drug called decitabine before standard chemotherapy can help more people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achieve remission. About 178 adults with AML that is not the most treatable type will receive either a low or high dose of decitabine followed by chemo. The goal is to see if this approach improves complete remission rates and long-term survival.
