Drug combo in AML: how antifungal affects cancer treatment levels
NCT ID NCT07254611
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how the antifungal drug posaconazole affects blood levels of the cancer drug venetoclax in 15 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were also receiving a hypomethylating agent (azacitidine or decitabine). The goal was to see how many patients reached stable venetoclax levels by day 12 of treatment. The findings could help doctors adjust venetoclax doses to avoid toxicity while preserving its anti-leukemia effect.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- venetoclax and posaconazole
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors safely adjust venetoclax doses when giving posaconazole, reducing toxicity while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed pharmacokinetic study (15 participants) that only measured drug levels, not treatment outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
