NCT ID NCT07044687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a combination of two drugs, venetoclax and azacitidine, in about 100 adults in India with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not healthy enough for standard intensive chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combo can put the cancer into remission and to track side effects. Participants take venetoclax pills daily and receive azacitidine injections for a week each cycle, with regular checkups over about 29 months.
