Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Although studies are ongoing to evaluate the efficiency and safety of venetoclax-based therapy, alone or in combination with hypomethylation agent or low-dose cytarabine, in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia, data are scarce and heterogenous. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess safety and response to a new venetoclax-based triple-drug combination regimen (venetoclax + hypomethylation agent + low-dose cytarabine) in acute myeloid leukemia patients who had relapsed/refractory disease or positive minimal residual disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although the promising activity of venetoclax-based therapy is well demonstrated in the treatment of previously untreated elderly or unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia, there are few data on the efficacy of venetoclax-based salvage therapy in relapsed/refractory patients, which can be difficult to treat. To date, data on venetoclax as monotherapy or in combination with hypomethylation agent or low-dose cytarabine as a salvage regimen in relapsed/refractory AML are scarce and heterogenous. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess safety and efficiency of a new triple-drug combination regimen, venetoclax + hypomethylation agent + low-dose cytarabine, in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia or persistent positive minimal residual disease in the salvage setting.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Venetoclax, Decitabine, Azacytidine, Cytarabine

Intervention Type DRUG

Venetoclax was given at a dose of 400 mg/day for 28 days per cycle. Decitabine was given at a dose of 20 mg/m2/day for 5 days (n=3) or azacytidine (n=8) was given at a dose of 75 mg/m2/day for 7 days at the discretion of the treating physician. Cytarabine was given at a dose of 10 mg/m2 twice daily for 7 days.
