Chidamide treatment to prevent leukemia recurrence after stem cell transplant
Official title: Chidamide Prevents the Recurrence of High-risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-cell Transplantation: A Prospective, Single-centered, Single-arm, Phase I/II Clinical Study
Run by Sichuan University · NCT05682755 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a medication called chidamide can help prevent leukemia from coming back in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia after they have a stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 who have undergone allo-HSCT and achieved complete remission.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with central nervous system involvement or serious functional damage to vital organs may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide maintenance therapy in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have undergone allogeneic hemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Participants will receive oral chidamide for up to 180 days post-transplant to assess its impact on reducing recurrence rates and the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The study is designed as a Phase I/II trial, focusing on both safety and effectiveness in this vulnerable patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the risk of leukemia recurrence and improve overall survival for high-risk AML patients after transplantation.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of AML post-transplant, similar studies in other hematological malignancies have shown promising results with maintenance therapies.
