Treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with a new drug combination
Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Single-arm Clinical Study of Chiglitazar Sodium Combined With Venetoclax and Azacitidine (CVA) for the Treatment of Refractory/Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML)
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT06737523 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new combination of drugs to see if it can help people with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia feel better and improve their treatment outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with confirmed relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia or active central nervous system leukemia may not benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the safety and efficacy of a new treatment regimen combining Chiglitazar Sodium, Venetoclax, and Azacitidine for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Participants will receive a specific dosing schedule over multiple cycles, with adjustments made based on drug concentration levels. The study aims to assess the treatment's effectiveness and safety profile, with options for further treatment if initial responses are stable or progressive. Patients who do not show improvement after two cycles may be withdrawn and considered for alternative therapies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat R/R AML.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar combinations have shown promise in other studies targeting acute myeloid leukemia.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) confirmed by histology. Relapsed or refractory AML, including: a) Refractory disease is defined as no remission after at least one prior treatment. b) Disease relapse is defined as 5% or more blasts in the bone marrow after remission. c) Patients with AML arising from myelodysplastic syndromes (including CMML) or myeloproliferative neoplasms (secondary AML, t-AML) are also eligible; 2. Age ≥18 years, male or female, with an expected survival of more than 3 months; 3. Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min; 4. AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 x ULN (unless considered due to leukemia organ involvement), bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN (unless considered due to leukemia organ involvement); 5. ECOG ≤ 2; 6. Subjects are non-pregnant or using contraceptive measures during treatment; 7. Capable of understanding and voluntarily providing informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL); 2. Active central nervous system leukemia; 3. Patients with clinically significant QTc interval prolongation (males \> 450 ms; females \> 470 ms), ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, second-degree heart block, history of myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure within the year prior to enrollment, and patients with clinically symptomatic coronary heart disease requiring medication; 4. Active, uncontrolled severe infection; 5. Other non-myeloid malignancies within the past 2 years; 6. Mental disorders that would impede study participation; 7. Previous solid organ transplantation (pre-treatment with SCT is allowed, but not allowed if the patient has GVHD or is still receiving immunosuppressive/GVHD treatment); 8. Any other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable to participate in this trial.
