NCT ID NCT07469046

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This Phase 3 trial will test whether adding homoharringtonine to the standard two-drug regimen of venetoclax and azacitidine improves remission rates in adults aged 60-75 with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 308 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the two-drug or three-drug combination. The main goal is to see if the triple therapy leads to more complete remissions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Venetoclax, azacitidine, and homoharringtonine (drug combination)

What this could lead to

If this works, it could offer a more effective treatment option for older adults with acute myeloid leukemia, potentially leading to higher remission rates.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial that hasn't started recruiting yet. Adding a third drug may increase side effects, and it's unclear if the benefits will outweigh the risks for all patients.
