Adding silibinin to standard daunorubicin or idarubicin therapy for newly diagnosed non‑M3 acute myeloid leukemia
Official title: Prospective Randomized Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Chemotherapy Protocols Containing Daunorubicin /Idarubicin ± Silibinin in Treating Newly Diagnosed AML (Non-M3)
Run by Fujian Medical University Union Hospital · NCT07561892 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether adding silibinin (a liver‑protecting compound) to standard daunorubicin or idarubicin chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed non‑M3 acute myeloid leukemia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with newly diagnosed non‑M3 acute myeloid leukemia who are candidates for standard daunorubicin‑ or idarubicin‑based chemotherapy and can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled other malignancies, serious comorbidities (such as uncontrolled cerebrovascular disease or coagulation disorders), psychiatric conditions preventing protocol compliance, or inability to attend the study site may not receive benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 4 interventional trial compares standard induction chemotherapy using daunorubicin or idarubicin with or without added silibinin in adults with newly diagnosed non‑M3 acute myeloid leukemia. Participants receive standard anthracycline‑based regimens and are monitored for safety, liver effects, and treatment response. The protocol enrolls patients suitable for daunorubicin/idarubicin regimens and excludes those with uncontrolled comorbidities or recent participation in other trials. Outcomes will determine whether adding silibinin improves efficacy or reduces chemotherapy‑related hepatotoxicity in a clinical setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding silibinin could improve treatment effectiveness or reduce chemotherapy‑related liver toxicity for patients receiving anthracycline induction.
How similar studies have gone: Silibinin is commonly used for hepatoprotection and shows anticancer effects in preclinical studies, but its addition to anthracycline regimens in newly diagnosed AML has limited clinical trial evidence.
