Blood test may personalize leukemia drug dosing
NCT ID NCT07670130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring the amount of venetoclax in the blood can help doctors give the right dose to people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Currently, everyone gets the same dose, but drug levels vary a lot between patients. The goal is to find a blood concentration range that works best—boosting remission while limiting side effects like low blood counts. Fifty patients will be followed to see how drug levels relate to outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- venetoclax
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to personalized dosing of venetoclax for AML patients, potentially improving remission rates and reducing severe side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The approach may not clearly improve outcomes over standard fixed dosing.

Who is studied
This prospective study included newly diagnosed AML patients who received the venetoclax plus azacitidine as induction. Venetoclax concentration data were collected on days 8, 15, and 22, and the steady-state trough concentration (Cmin), peak concentration (Cmax), and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. The relationships between venetoclax exposure levels (Cmax, Cmin, and AUC) and efficacy, safety, survival, and individual patient characteristics were analyzed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis: Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) confirmed according to the WHO 2022 or International Consensus Classification (ICC) criteria, based on bone marrow morphology, flow cytometry, and molecular genetics. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is excluded. 2. Treatment regimen: Planned or already initiated first-line therapy with venetoclax plus azacitidine (VEN-AZA), with dosing determined by the treating physician according to routine clinical practice (no protocol-mandated dose restrictions). 3. Age: ≥ 16 years. 4. Informed consent: Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent for participation in this observational study. 5. Follow-up: Agreement to attend scheduled follow-up visits and to permit clinical data collection at the time points specified in the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior AML therapy: Prior treatment for AML, with the exception of leukapheresis, hydroxyurea, low-dose cytarabine, or corticosteroids. 2. Concurrent interventional trials: Current participation in any interventional clinical trial, including those involving investigational agents. 3. Extremely short life expectancy: Judged by the investigator to be unable to complete at least one full cycle of therapy and the associated follow-up.
