NCT ID NCT05226455

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and azacitidine) plus donor immune cells in 55 adults with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that returned after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the treatment can improve outcomes. The study is active but no longer recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

venetoclax (Venclyxto) and azacitidine (Vidaza) with or without donor lymphocyte infusion

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for patients whose MDS or AML returns after a stem cell transplant.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase I-II study with only 55 participants, so results are preliminary. The drugs can cause serious side effects, and the donor cells may attack the patient's body (graft-versus-host disease).
