New combo aims to wipe out lingering leukemia before transplant
NCT ID NCT06668558
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of venetoclax and azacitidine can clear measurable residual disease (MRD) in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who still have or develop leftover cancer cells after initial chemotherapy, and before a stem cell transplant. About 29 participants will receive up to 12 or 24 cycles of the drugs, depending on their risk group. The main goal is to see if the treatment can make MRD disappear, which could lower the chance of the leukemia coming back.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- venetoclax and azacitidine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a way to eliminate leftover leukemia cells before a stem cell transplant, potentially reducing the risk of relapse.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 29 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drugs can cause side effects like low blood counts and infections.
