Scientists test drug combo to fight tough blood cancer

NCT ID NCT04802161

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called pomalidomide to standard chemotherapy works better for adults newly diagnosed with a specific, harder-to-treat type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 50 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard chemo or the standard chemo plus pomalidomide. The main goal is to see if the new combination leads to more patients having their cancer go into remission.
