Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, venetoclax and decitabine, in 235 people with certain types of leukemia or related blood cancers that were either newly diagnosed in older adults or had come back after other treatments. The goal was to see how well the drugs worked together to stop cancer growth and to check for side effects. The trial was stopped early, but the results help doctors understand how to better treat these hard-to-manage cancers.
