Summary
This study tests whether giving a drug that changes how DNA is read (called a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor) before standard chemotherapy is safe and helps children with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. About 206 children will receive either azacitidine or decitabine for five days before their regular chemo. Researchers will check for side effects and measure how well the treatment works by looking for leftover cancer cells and tracking survival over at least three years.
