New hope for older leukemia patients: targeted combo shows promise
NCT ID NCT06456463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is for adults with a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (CD123+ AML) who cannot receive standard strong chemotherapy. It tests a new drug, tagraxofusp, added to two other drugs (venetoclax and azacitidine) to see if it helps more people achieve complete remission. The trial involves about 83 participants and will first find the best dose of tagraxofusp, then test that dose in two groups based on genetic markers.
