New treatment option for Leukemia
Official title Venetoclax Combined with Intensive Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Lower Early Peripheral Blast Clearance Rate After Standard Induction Therapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06643962
What this study is testing
What is Venetoclax?
Venetoclax is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for leukemia.
Also referred to as Bcl-2 inhibitors.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This single-center prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intensifying treatment with Venetoclax along with intensive chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) except acute promyelocytic leukemia (non-APL) and exhibiting lower early peripheral blast clearance rate (EPBCR) after standard Intensive Induction therapy (3+7 regimen).
