Real-world outcomes for adults with AML treated with new drugs (BoxTrial)
Official title: Observational GIMEMA Study on the Outcome of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients Treated With New Drugs in Real-life
Run by Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto · NCT06513273 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will follow adults with AML treated in routine care across Italy to see how new approved drugs and combinations perform over at least two years.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with AML by ELN criteria (excluding M3) who begin AIFA-authorized novel monotherapy or combination therapy at a participating GIMEMA center and consent to data collection are eligible, provided they are not enrolled in interventional trials.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients enrolled in interventional clinical trials, pediatric patients, and those with acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3) are outside the intended population and are unlikely to benefit from this observational project's findings.

What this trial studies
This multicenter observational project combines prospective and retrospective data collection at Italian GIMEMA centers to describe how newly approved AML drugs and combinations are used in routine practice. It enrolls adults (≥18 years) with AML according to ELN guidelines, excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3), who start AIFA-authorized novel therapies through 31 December 2027. No extra procedures or visits beyond standard clinical care are required, and each patient will be followed for a minimum of 24 months. The protocol focuses on patients treated with agents such as gilteritinib for FLT3-mutant AML, IDH inhibitors, oral azacitidine maintenance, glasdegib, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, and other drugs approved during the study period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could provide clearer real-world evidence on how new AML treatments perform outside clinical trials, helping clinicians and patients make more informed treatment choices.
How similar studies have gone: Randomized clinical trials have shown benefit for several targeted AML agents (for example FLT3 and IDH inhibitors, oral azacitidine, and gemtuzumab), but large multicenter real-world observational data confirming their routine-practice performance remain limited.
