New hope for tough leukemia: dasatinib tested after standard therapy fails
NCT ID NCT06055621
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing the drug dasatinib alone in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose cancer did not respond to the usual combination of venetoclax and azacitidine. The main goal is to see if dasatinib can shrink the leukemia after two months of treatment. About 35 people will take dasatinib daily for up to 3 months, and doctors will check their blood and bone marrow for signs of remission.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dasatinib (a targeted cancer drug taken daily by mouth)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for AML patients who have not responded to standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 35 participants. It may not work for everyone, and dasatinib can cause side effects like fluid retention or heart issues.
