This study tested a combination of two drugs, azacitidine and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, in 133 older adults (age 60+) with untreated acute myeloid leukemia. The goal was to see how well the treatment could put the cancer into remission and improve survival. The approach uses chemoth…

This phase 1 trial is testing a combination of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) plus two chemotherapy drugs, fludarabine and melphalan, given before a donor stem cell transplant. The goal is to find the safest dose of radiation that can kill cancer cells while prepari…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the drug pomalidomide to standard chemotherapy (daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome) helps people with a newly diagnosed, aggressive form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) linked to prior bone marrow disorders. About 50 participants will rec…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding ivosidenib (a targeted pill) to standard azacitidine helps adults with a specific IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who cannot have intensive chemotherapy. About 146 participants receive either the combo or a placebo plus azacitidin…

This phase II trial tested whether adding veliparib (a targeted drug) to standard chemotherapy (topotecan and carboplatin) helps people with advanced myeloproliferative disorders, acute myeloid leukemia, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. The study enrolled 25 adults whose cance…

This study tests a chemotherapy drug called CPX-351 (Vyxeos) in 25 patients under 22 years old who have secondary myeloid neoplasms, a type of blood cancer that develops after previous cancer treatment. Participants receive one or two rounds of CPX-351, followed by a stem cell tr…

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called navtemadlin (KRT-232) combined with two standard drugs (decitabine and venetoclax) for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back, not responded to treatment, or is newly diagnosed. The main goal is to find the safes…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achieve a deeper remission. About 49 participants will receive either chemo alone or chemo plus pembrolizumab. The …

This early-phase study tests a new drug called navtemadlin (KRT-232) combined with standard chemotherapy (cytarabine and idarubicin) in adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find the safest dose and see how well the combination works. About 24 p…
