Run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital · NCT06451861 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether the ABC-14 combination works better and is safer than the standard "3+7" or AB-14 regimens for adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with newly diagnosed non-APL AML who have not received prior systemic anti-leukemia therapy (aside from limited cytoreduction), have acceptable performance status and organ function, can take oral medications, and consent to the trial.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), prior systemic AML treatment, known resistance to azacitidine or venetoclax, uncontrolled active infections or major organ dysfunction, or inability to take oral drugs are unlikely to benefit from this regimen.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, phase 2 trial comparing an experimental ABC-14 induction regimen (including chidamide, venetoclax, and azacitidine together with conventional chemotherapy agents) to the traditional "3+7" regimen or AB-14 in adults with newly diagnosed non-APL AML. Eligible patients are treatment-naïve adults 18 years or older who meet organ function and performance status criteria and who can take oral medications. The study will measure remission rates, safety and treatment-related mortality to see if ABC-14 can improve outcomes over standard induction. It is being conducted at multiple centers in Guangdong province, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ABC-14 could increase initial remission rates and/or lower treatment-related mortality compared with standard induction regimens.

How similar studies have gone: Combinations of venetoclax with hypomethylating agents like azacitidine have shown promising results in AML, but adding chidamide and the specific ABC-14 formulation is a relatively novel approach with limited prior data.
