Adaptive treatment for acute myeloid leukemia based on early results

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Adaptive Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Based on D14 MRD results-a Multicenter, Single-arm, Prospective Clinical Study

Phase 2 Interventional Shanghai Tong Ren Hospital · NCT05736978

This study is testing a new treatment plan for people with untreated acute myeloid leukemia to see if adding a drug called selinexor helps those who still have cancer after two weeks of initial therapy.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of selinexor in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax for patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The approach is based on minimal residual disease (MRD) results obtained on day 14 of the first treatment cycle. Patients who test MRD negative will continue with azacitidine and venetoclax, while those who are MRD positive will receive selinexor in addition to these medications. The trial aims to determine the best treatment strategy for patients who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with newly diagnosed AML who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with AML who are eligible for intensive chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with untreated AML by personalizing therapy based on early response indicators.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using adaptive treatment strategies based on MRD results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
