New drug cocktail aims to wipe out lingering leukemia

NCT ID NCT07264010

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining two oral drugs, sorafenib and venetoclax, can eliminate leftover leukemia cells in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who still have measurable residual disease (MRD) after initial treatment. About 87 participants will receive the drugs for 28-day cycles. The main goal is to see if the treatment reduces MRD levels by at least 90% after three cycles.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

sorafenib and venetoclax (two drugs taken by mouth)

What this could lead to

If it works, this combination could help eliminate leftover leukemia cells that standard treatment missed, potentially lowering the chance of relapse.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid stage trial with only 87 people and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Both drugs can cause serious side effects like liver problems or low blood counts.
