Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 14 to 60 with a confirmed diagnosis of AML and an ECOG performance status of 0-2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with AML who do not meet the genetic criteria or those with severe comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of combining Venetoclax with intensive chemotherapy in adult patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The study aims to determine which genetic subgroups of AML patients benefit most from this combination treatment. Participants will receive one course of intensive chemotherapy with Venetoclax, followed by additional courses based on their response. The trial will also explore maintenance therapy with Venetoclax and azacitidine after consolidation treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve remission rates and overall outcomes for patients with specific genetic subtypes of AML.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with Venetoclax in certain AML subgroups, indicating potential for success in this trial.
