Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia with KMT2A gene abnormalities using VHEA.
Official title: Clinical Study Protocol for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed and Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia With KMT2A Gene Abnormalities Using VHEA(Venetoclax With Homoharringtonine,Etoposide,Cytarabine)
Run by Huai'an First People's Hospital · NCT06328179 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new combination of medications to see if it can help people with acute myeloid leukemia that has KMT2A gene abnormalities feel better and improve their chances of recovery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 60 years with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia exhibiting KMT2A gene abnormalities.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignancies or significant comorbidities affecting their ability to tolerate chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of the VHEA regimen, which combines Venetoclax, Homoharringtonine, Etoposide, and Cytarabine, for treating newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with KMT2A gene abnormalities. The study is multicenter, single-arm, and open-label, focusing on both induction and consolidation phases of AML treatment. Given the poor prognosis associated with MLL-related leukemia, this trial aims to provide a more effective treatment option compared to conventional chemotherapy regimens.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve remission rates and overall outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and KMT2A gene abnormalities.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on the specific VHEA regimen, similar approaches targeting MLL-related leukemia have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
