New hope for older adults battling aggressive blood cancer

NCT ID NCT02835222

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a new oral drug called selinexor to standard chemotherapy helps older adults with a newly diagnosed, aggressive blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer and better controls the disease compared to standard chemotherapy alone. The trial is for adults over 18 who have not yet received any treatment for their AML.
