Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Venetoclax Combined With 3-Day Decitabine (DEC3-VEN) Versus Venetoclax Combined With "2+6" DA Versus "3+7" DA Regimen in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Run by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University · NCT07712848 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests three induction regimens in adults with newly diagnosed AML to see which combination best balances effectiveness and tolerability.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 16–65 with newly diagnosed AML eligible for intensive chemotherapy, ECOG ≤2, and adequate organ function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unfavorable biology, poor performance status, or organ dysfunction may not benefit and could be at higher risk of treatment-related toxicity.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 3 trial enrolling about 291 adults aged 16–65 with newly diagnosed, intensive-chemotherapy-eligible AML. Participants are randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to: VEN plus 3-day decitabine (DEC3-VEN), VEN plus a 2+6 daunorubicin/cytarabine regimen (DA), or the standard 3+7 DA regimen. The study uses stratified randomization by center to compare efficacy and safety across arms, with specific pharmacologic and, for FLT3-ITD-positive patients in DEC3-VEN, targeted therapy considerations. Primary aims center on achieving favorable remission with manageable toxicity while addressing the balance between efficacy and tolerability in fit adult patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimens could offer higher remission rates with acceptable safety, potentially improving survival and quality of life for adults with newly diagnosed AML.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored venetoclax-based combinations in AML, but this specific three-arm comparison in newly diagnosed patients is a novel approach with limited prior direct head-to-head results.
