Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia who have not experienced relapse or refractory disease 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 aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of venetoclax in combination with the CAG regimen (Ara-C, Acla, and C C-GSF) for patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Participants aged 18 to 75 will receive this treatment to determine its effectiveness in managing their condition. The study will assess both the safety profile and the therapeutic outcomes of this combination therapy in AML patients who have not responded to previous treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with difficult-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with venetoclax in various hematological malignancies, suggesting potential success for this approach in AML.
