First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs, nintedanib and azacitidine, in older adults with a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has certain genetic features. Participants are not candidates for or have declined standard intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to find the safest dose of nintedanib when given with azacitidine and to monitor side effects. Treatment continues for up to 6 cycles, with possible maintenance, unless the leukemia worsens or side effects become too severe.
