Run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China · NCT07490288 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests a new induction combo (VAM) to see if it is safe and shows early signs of helping people with newly diagnosed AML who can receive intensive chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals aged 14 or older with AML who are fit for intensive chemotherapy and meet specific organ and performance criteria (ECOG 0-2, adequate liver, kidney, and heart function).

Probably not a fit

Patients with certain genetic subtypes or organ dysfunction may experience limited benefit or greater risk from this regimen.

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 single-arm, open-label trial enrolling adults and some adolescents with newly diagnosed AML. Participants receive a induction regimen of Venetoclax, Azacitidine, and Liposomal Mitoxantrone (VAM) followed by three cycles of intermediate-dose cytarabine for consolidation. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is recommended for those in remission who are high-risk or have measurable residual disease. The study aims to assess safety and preliminary efficacy to inform future research directions. Enrollment targets 27 patients at a single center in Tianjin, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could offer a new induction option that may improve response and pave the way for transplantation in high-risk patients.

How similar studies have gone: Previous regimens including venetoclax with hypomethylating agents have shown activity in AML, but this exact combination with liposomal mitoxantrone is exploratory.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients diagnosed with AML according to the WHO (2022) or ICC criteria, or with MDS/AML as defined by ICC (with 10%-20% blasts in the bone marrow)
* Age ≥ 14 years, male or female.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) score of 0-2.
* Meet the following laboratory requirements (tests must be performed within 7 days prior to treatment):

  i. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the corresponding age group.

ii. AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times ULN for the corresponding age group. iii. Serum creatinine \< 1.5 times ULN for the corresponding age group. iv. Cardiac enzymes \< 2 times ULN for the corresponding age group. v. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) within the normal range as measured by echocardiography (ECHO).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML::RARA fusion gene.
* Acute myeloid leukemia with RUNX1::RUNX1T1 fusion gene.
* Acute myeloid leukemia with BCR::ABL1 fusion gene.
* Previously treated patients (defined as having received prior induction chemotherapy for AML/MDS; prior use of cytoreductive agents like hydroxyurea is allowed).
* Concurrent active malignancy of other organs (requiring treatment).
* Active cardiac disease, defined as one or more of the following:

  i. History of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina. ii. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study enrollment. iii. History of clinically significant arrhythmia requiring medication or causing severe symptoms.

iv. Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure (\> New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class 2).
