New Three-Drug cocktail targets untreated leukemia in early trial

NCT ID NCT06514261

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether adding a drug called iadademstat to the standard combination of venetoclax and azacitidine is safe and tolerable for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 45 people with intermediate- or high-risk AML will take part. The main goal is to find the best dose and watch for side effects, while also checking how well the cancer responds.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

iadademstat, venetoclax, and azacitidine

What this could lead to

If this works, it could point toward a more effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia that hasn't been treated yet.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 45 people, so it's mainly checking safety and dosing. The drug combo may not work well or could cause serious side effects.
