Can lab tests guide better AML treatment choices?
NCT ID NCT07613385
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether combining a drug sensitivity test with detailed genetic profiling can help doctors recommend the best treatment for each patient with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers will take extra blood or bone marrow samples from 18 participants and test them in the lab. A special committee will then suggest personalized treatment options, but no drugs are given as part of this study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help doctors select more effective, personalized treatments for patients with hard-to-treat AML.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 18 participants. It does not test any treatment directly, so it may not lead to better outcomes for patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative. * Agreement to allow the use of archival tissue from diagnostic tumor biopsies * Age: ≥ 18 years * ECOG ≤ 3 (Appendix A) * Patients with histologically confirmed AML according to ICC or WHO criteria, and * Refractory/relapsed (R/R) to prior treatment with one or more regimens if adverse risk or two or more regimens if favorable/intermediate risk (Appendix B) * Sufficient bone marrow and/or peripheral blood sample (archival or fresh) to run the high throughput screening (HTS; Estimate sufficient if circulating blast count of 5,000 or greater or cellular marrow with greater than or equal to 20% blasts.) Otherwise, * Sufficient cells flushed from bone marrow biopsy, if bone marrow is not aspirable, OR * Extramedullary disease, if it is possible to obtain a fluid or biopsy sample from that location * Expected survival is greater than 100 days. * Fully recovered from the acute toxic effects (except alopecia) to ≤ Grade 1 to prior anti-cancer therapy Exclusion Criteria: * Treatment with any chemotherapeutic agent necessary to control AML burden is permitted between day -18 and -1. * Must not have received or planning to receive live vaccine while being on study * Patients with t(15;17) karyotypic abnormality or acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB class M3-AML) * Active central nervous system (CNS) disease (OK if treated and responding) * Active graft vs host disease (GVHD) * Unstable cardiac disease as defined by one of the following: * Cardiac events such as myocardial infarction (MI) within the past 6 months * Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or hypertension * Clinically significant uncontrolled illness * Uncontrolled active infection * Females only: Pregnant or breastfeeding * Any other condition or active malignancy that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures. * Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).
