NCT ID NCT06068621

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

Summary

This study tested a combination of six drugs (venetoclax plus CACAG regimen) against the standard '3+7' chemotherapy in 200 adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The goal was to see if the new combo leads to more complete remissions after one treatment course. The trial is complete, and results will show whether this approach is more effective and safe.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Venetoclax combined with azacytidine, cytarabine, aclacinomycin, chidamide, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a more effective first-line treatment option for acute myeloid leukemia, potentially improving remission rates.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The combination may cause more side effects than standard therapy, and it is not yet proven to be better or safer.
