First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding venetoclax to a five-drug regimen (CACAG) works better than standard treatments for people whose acute myeloid leukemia has returned or not responded. About 200 adults aged 14 to 75 will be randomly assigned to one of the two approaches. The main goal is to see how many patients achieve remission after one treatment cycle.

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 could offer a new treatment option for people with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial with 200 participants, so results are still early. The combination may cause serious side effects and may not work better than existing therapies.
