Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults and adolescents (16+) with newly diagnosed AML who are planned for or receiving VEN-AZA as part of standard care and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients receiving VEN-AZA but with factors unrelated to drug exposure that dominate outcomes may not see a benefit from exposure-guided adjustments.

What this trial studies
This observational study follows patients with newly diagnosed AML who are treated with venetoclax plus azacitidine in routine clinical practice. It examines how differences in drug exposure relate to safety and outcomes, aiming to see if tailoring dose based on drug levels could improve prognosis. Participants are adults and youths (16+) who have not received prior AML therapy (except certain exceptions) and are undergoing standard VEN-AZA regimens. Data will be collected during planned follow-up visits to explore exposure-response relationships in real-world settings. The study does not mandate a fixed dosing protocol and reflects routine care at the participating center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could inform personalized dosing strategies to optimize effectiveness and reduce adverse effects for VEN-AZA in AML.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in other settings has shown that drug exposure can influence response and toxicity, but this specific VEN-AZA TDM approach in AML is relatively novel and exploratory.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis: Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) confirmed according to the WHO 2022 or International Consensus Classification (ICC) criteria, based on bone marrow morphology, flow cytometry, and molecular genetics. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is excluded. 2. Treatment regimen: Planned or already initiated first-line therapy with venetoclax plus azacitidine (VEN-AZA), with dosing determined by the treating physician according to routine clinical practice (no protocol-mandated dose restrictions). 3. Age: ≥ 16 years. 4. Informed consent: Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent for participation in this observational study. 5. Follow-up: Agreement to attend scheduled follow-up visits and to permit clinical data collection at the time points specified in the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior AML therapy: Prior treatment for AML, with the exception of leukapheresis, hydroxyurea, low-dose cytarabine, or corticosteroids. 2. Concurrent interventional trials: Current participation in any interventional clinical trial, including those involving investigational agents. 3. Extremely short life expectancy: Judged by the investigator to be unable to complete at least one full cycle of therapy and the associated follow-up.
