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

Summary

This study looks at how well and how safely oral azacitidine (ONUREG) works as maintenance therapy for Chinese adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission after initial chemotherapy. The 44 participants cannot or choose not to have a stem cell transplant. Researchers will track how long patients stay cancer-free and monitor side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

oral azacitidine (ONUREG)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that oral azacitidine helps keep AML in remission longer for patients who cannot have a stem cell transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a small, real-world study in Hong Kong with only 44 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects like low blood counts or infections are possible.
