Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Third Generation Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Combined With Azacitidine and B-cell Lymphoma-2 Inhibitor in Patients With Myeloid Blast Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT06390306 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will test whether adding a third-generation TKI to azacitidine and a Bcl-2 inhibitor helps adults with Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myeloid leukemia in myeloid blast phase.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with Philadelphia chromosome–positive or BCR::ABL–positive CML in myeloid blast phase who meet cardiac and organ-function criteria and have not undergone allogeneic HSCT are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other active primary malignancies, significant comorbidities or interacting medications, prior allogeneic stem cell transplant, or extramedullary-only disease are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

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

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study enrolling adults with Philadelphia chromosome–positive CML in myeloid blast phase to receive a third-generation TKI (for example ponatinib or olverembatinib) combined with azacitidine and a Bcl-2 inhibitor (venetoclax). The protocol will collect data on safety, hematologic and molecular response rates, and survival over predefined follow-up periods. Investigators will perform exploratory multi-omics analyses on patient samples to identify biomarkers associated with response or resistance. Data are collected across several academic medical centers in China under standardized procedures.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could increase remission rates and improve survival for adults with CML in myeloid blast phase.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies combining TKIs with hypomethylating agents or venetoclax have reported promising responses, but evidence specifically using third-generation TKIs remains limited.
