Using VAG regimen to treat newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia
Official title: Clinical Trial Protocol for the Combined Use of Azacitidine, Venetoclax, and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (Phase IIb, Single-arm, Prospective, Single-center Study)
Run by The Second People's Hospital of Huai'an · NCT06536010 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment called the VAG regimen for people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia to see if it works better than standard chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 who have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and meet specific health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia, central nervous system leukemia, or severe uncontrolled infections may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical efficacy study evaluates the VAG regimen, which combines azacitidine and venetoclax with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, for treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is a single-arm, prospective, single-center phase IIb study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of this treatment approach. The study seeks to explore the synergistic mechanisms of the VAG regimen in combating AML, particularly in patients who may not respond well to traditional chemotherapy. Given the aggressive nature of AML and the low survival rates, this study addresses a critical need for more effective treatment options.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar treatment approaches, indicating potential for success in this novel application.
