New drug combo tested for tough blood cancers in older adults

NCT ID NCT03404193

Summary

This study tested how well two chemotherapy drugs, venetoclax and decitabine, work together to control aggressive blood cancers. It was for older adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or people whose AML or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) had returned or not responded to prior treatment. The goal was to see if this combination could shrink the cancer, improve blood counts, and help patients live longer.
