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.
