First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking oral azacitidine pills for up to six months can help prevent leukemia from returning in patients who are eligible for a stem cell transplant but cannot get one due to racial or socioeconomic disparities. The trial enrolls 12 adults with acute myeloid leukemia in remission. The main goal is to see if patients can complete at least four cycles of this maintenance therapy.

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a practical maintenance option to reduce relapse risk for AML patients who face barriers to transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a very small feasibility study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not prevent relapse or could cause side effects.
