New trial aims to match AML patients with best drug combo
NCT ID NCT06635681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding venetoclax to standard intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study will enroll 380 patients aged 14 to 60 to see which genetic subtypes benefit most. Researchers hope to personalize treatment based on genetic markers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Venetoclax combined with daunorubicin, cytarabine, and azacitidine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify which genetic types of AML respond best to adding venetoclax to standard chemo, leading to more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 2 single-arm trial, so results are preliminary and may not confirm benefit. Side effects from intensive chemo plus venetoclax could be significant.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who meet AML according to WHO (2022) or AML and MDS/AML defined by ICC standards. 2. Age ≥14 years old, ≤ 60 years old, male or female. 3. The physical status assessment (ECOG-PS) of the Eastern Oncology Collaboration group was 0-2 points. 4. Fulfill the requirements of the following laboratory tests (performed within 7 days prior to treatment) : 1. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value (same age); 2. AST and ALT≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal value (same age); 3. Blood creatinine \< 2 times the upper limit of normal (same age); 4. Myocardial enzymes \< 2 times the upper limit of normal (same age); 5. Left ventricular ejection fraction \>50% by measure of echocardiogram (ECHO). Informed consent must be signed before the commencement of all specific study procedures, and signed by the patient himself or his immediate family. Considering the patient\'s condition, if the patient\'s signature is not conducive to the treatment of the condition, the informed consent shall be signed by the legal guardian or the patient\'s immediate family. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are excluded from the study: 1. Acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML-RARA fusion gene 2. Acute myeloid leukemia with BCR-ABL fusion gene 3. Treated patients (but can receive hydroxyurea or cytarabine to the lower tumor burden). 4. Concurrent malignant tumors of other organs (those requiring treatment). 5. Active heart disease, defined as one or more of the following: 1. A history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina; 2. Myocardial infarction less than 6 months after enrollment; 3. Have a history of arrhythmia requiring drug treatment or severe clinical symptoms; 4. Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure (\> NYHA level 2); 6. Serious infectious diseases (uncured tuberculosis, pulmonary aspergillosis). 7. Those who were not considered suitable for inclusion by the researchers.
