Venetoclax blood levels and treatment toxicity during hypomethylating-agent combinations for AML in remission
Official title: Correlation of Venetoclax Plasma Concentrations With Toxicity of Hypometilating Agents and Venetoclax Combination for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Remission.
Run by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia · NCT07254312 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will see if venetoclax blood levels are linked to side effects in people with AML who are in remission and receiving hypomethylating agents plus venetoclax.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with newly diagnosed AML who are in remission and receiving HMA plus venetoclax from the first post-remission cycle and who are not taking moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers and are willing to have plasma level testing.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients on moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers, those not receiving HMA-venetoclax, or those not in remission are unlikely to benefit from the findings of this protocol.

What this trial studies
This observational, single-center project will measure venetoclax plasma concentrations in patients with newly diagnosed AML who are in remission and receiving hypomethylating agent (HMA) plus venetoclax from the first post-remission cycle. Blood levels will be correlated with recorded hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities, dose interruptions, and dose adjustments. Patients taking moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers will be excluded to avoid confounding drug interactions. The aim is to identify whether higher or lower venetoclax exposure predicts clinically important toxicity that leads to treatment changes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If a clear link is found, clinicians could use venetoclax blood levels to personalize dosing and reduce hematologic toxicity and treatment interruptions.
How similar studies have gone: While HMA plus venetoclax has proven clinical benefit in AML, using venetoclax plasma concentrations to predict toxicity is relatively novel and not yet established by prior trials.
