New combo aims to keep leukemia away after remission

NCT ID NCT07537257

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy (cytarabine) can help adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stay in remission longer. About 232 participants who are already in remission will receive either the combination or chemo alone. The main goal is to see if the combo leads to a higher rate of undetectable leukemia cells (MRD-negative), which is linked to better outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Venetoclax and cytarabine

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could become a new standard consolidation therapy, helping more AML patients achieve deep remission and potentially reducing relapse risk.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with 232 participants, so results are not yet conclusive. Adding venetoclax may increase side effects like low blood counts or infections, and the benefit over standard care is not guaranteed.
