New treatment option for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Official title Monitoring, Detoxifying, and Rebalancing Metals During Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Therapy, a Phase 2 Randomized Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06811233
What this study is testing
What is DMSA?
DMSA is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (aml).
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
- The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if metal detoxification (with calcium disodium edetate [Ca-EDTA] and dimercaptosuccinic acid [DMSA]) during standard therapy can help improve outcomes in patients with intermediate-risk, high-risk, or secondary AML compared to standard therapy alone. Researchers think lowering the level of metals found in the blood/bone marrow may help to control the disease and/or improve the response to chemotherapy.
