What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 1 trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and azacitidine) followed by donor immune cell infusions can prevent relapse in people with very high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have already received a stem cell transplant. The study enrolls adults aged 18 to 75 whose AML is in remission but who still have a high chance of the cancer coming back. The main goals are to find the safest dose and to see if the treatment is well tolerated.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
venetoclax, azacitidine, and donor lymphocyte infusion
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could help prevent AML from returning after a stem cell transplant, potentially improving long-term survival for very high-risk patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 study with only a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is unknown whether it will actually reduce relapse rates.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female patients between the ages of 18-75. 2. Patients with a histologic diagnosis of AML in morphological remission (\<5% bone marrow (BM) blasts) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and very high-risk for relapse defined as: (i) Presence of measurable residual disease (MRD) by multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) prior to transplant and receiving a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) or nonmyeloablative (NMA) regimen (ii) Presence of MRD by MFC at day +30 post-transplant (iii) All patients with monosomal karyotype (MK) and those with 17p/tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutated disease irrespective of MRD status and intensity of conditioning regimen. 3. Adequate hematopoietic recovery after HCT, defined as: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1 x 10\^9/L without daily use of myeloid growth factors * Platelet count \>= 50 x 10\^9/L without platelet transfusion within 1 week 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 5. Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance greater or equal than 40 cc/min 6. Serum bilirubin =\< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) 7. Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) =\< 2.5 x ULN 8. Alkaline phosphatase =\< 2.5 x UL 9. Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for women with reproductive potential. 10. A negative donor-specific antibody (DSA) assay (i.e., Micro-Flow Imaging (MFI) \<m3000) for recipients of any mismatched graft (including haploidentical) HCT. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active disease (\>5% blasts or any evidence of extra-medullary disease) at the time of transplantation or at day +30 2. Active acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) requiring systemic IST or history of aGVHD grade III or higher. 3. Active chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy (IST). 4. Active uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infection 5. Known active viral infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) 6. Significant active cardiac disease within the previous 6 months, including: New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV congestive heart failure. Unstable angina, angina requiring surgical or medical intervention, and/or myocardial infarction. 7. History of any other malignancy within 2 years prior to study entry, except for: adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix or carcinoma in situ of breast; basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent; myelodysplastic syndrome.
