Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of ASTX727 and Venetoclax for Treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Sponsor: Taiho Oncology, Inc.

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04657081

This clinical trial is testing a combination of two drugs, ASTX727 and Venetoclax, to see if they are safe and effective for treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults who are 75 years or older, or who have other health conditions that prevent them from receiving intensive chemotherapy.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is divided into two phases. Phase 1 aims to check if the two drugs, ASTX727 and Venetoclax, interact with each other in the body and to ensure they are safe to use together. Phase 2 will further evaluate how well this combination works in treating AML. The study involves adults who are newly diagnosed with AML and are either 75 years or older or have other health issues that make intensive chemotherapy unsuitable for them.
