Could a Two-Week chemo blast be just as good as three for AML?
NCT ID NCT07642453
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a two-week course of the VA-CAG chemotherapy works as well as the usual three-week course for adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 110 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two schedules. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment can achieve similar remission rates while causing fewer side effects.
