Study on Azacitidine and Venetoclax for Treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06773208
This clinical trial is exploring whether the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax can effectively reduce or eliminate remaining cancer cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have already received standard chemotherapy and are planning to undergo a stem cell transplant.

Program Overview
The aim of this study is to determine if azacitidine and venetoclax can help reduce or eliminate measurable residual disease (MRD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have already undergone standard chemotherapy. These patients are preparing for an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), which involves receiving healthy stem cells from a donor to replace their immune system and reduce the risk of the cancer returning.

- Have positive measurable residual disease (MRD) at specified levels.
- Eligible for intensive chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant after the trial.
