NCT ID NCT04926285
First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a combination of two drugs (venetoclax and omacetaxine) in 6 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose cancer had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to find a safe dose of omacetaxine when given with venetoclax. Researchers also looked at whether the combination could shrink or control the cancer. Because this is a very small, early-stage trial, the results are not yet conclusive.
