Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with newly diagnosed AML who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy due to age or comorbidities.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are suitable for intensive chemotherapy and choose to undergo that treatment may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination therapy using selinexor, azacitidine, and venetoclax in patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center trial where participants will receive these medications over a 28-day cycle. The treatment aims to achieve complete remission, after which patients may proceed to receive transplants or continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar combination therapies have shown promise in treating AML in other studies.
