Can your genes predict chemo side effects?
NCT ID NCT06580106
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is collecting genetic samples from 50 adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are starting treatment with azacitidine and venetoclax. Researchers want to see if certain genetic variations are linked to severe side effects or how well the drugs work. The goal is to learn more, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- azacitidine and venetoclax
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors predict which patients are more likely to have severe side effects from azacitidine and venetoclax, leading to more personalized treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It is observational and does not test a new treatment, so it will not directly improve outcomes.
