New hope for AML patients: oral drug aims to keep remission going
NCT ID NCT07458542
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well and how safely oral azacitidine (ONUREG) works as maintenance therapy for Chinese adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission after initial chemotherapy. The 44 participants cannot or choose not to have a stem cell transplant. Researchers will track how long patients stay cancer-free and monitor side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- oral azacitidine (ONUREG)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that oral azacitidine helps keep AML in remission longer for patients who cannot have a stem cell transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, real-world study in Hong Kong with only 44 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects like low blood counts or infections are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Documented diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). * Achieved first complete response (CR) or complete response with incomplete blood recovery (CRi) following intensive induction chemotherapy. * Not able or unwilling to undergo Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). * Received oral azacitidine as maintenance therapy after first CR or CRi following intensive induction chemotherapy in real-world settings (Note: CR/CRi status at oral azacitidine treatment initiation is left to the judgment of the local clinicians depending on the treatment response and the condition of the patient in routine clinical practices). * Age ≥ 18 years at the index date (oral azacitidine initiation date). Exclusion Criteria: • Evidence of relapse prior to oral azacitidine initiation recorded in electronic health record (EHR).
