Reduced chemo plus venetoclax for untreated AML or MDS
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (idarubicin and cytarabine) at lower doses plus a targeted drug called venetoclax for adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to see if this reduced-intensity treatment is effective with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Aged 18 to 60 years old
- Newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
- Good enough daily activity level (ECOG score 0-2)
- Healthy kidneys and liver function
- Heart function at least 45% on an echocardiogram

This trial tests adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy to help people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS (MDS-EB-2) live longer and reduce cancer activity. You may benefit if you’re eligible for intensive chemotherapy and meet specific blood, organ, and treatment timing requirements.
This trial combines three standard chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin) with a targeted therapy (venetoclax) to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and a related condition called MDS with high blast counts. The goal is to see if adding venetoclax improves results.
This early-phase study tests whether venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy can treat AML (acute leukemia) and certain advanced MDS. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed (or certain high-risk blood cancers) and can safely tolerate strong treatment.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (decitabine and venetoclax) at a very low, extended dose for people aged 60 or older who have been newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to see if this gentler approach is effective and well-tolerated.
This trial studies whether adding venetoclax to standard induction chemotherapy (homoharringtonine plus cytarabine) can improve outcomes for people with newly diagnosed AML. It mainly looks at people who can safely receive intensive chemotherapy but have certain heart, kidney, or lung limits.
This study tests a combination of two drugs (MDCyta and venetoclax) after an initial treatment to see if it helps people with newly diagnosed AML stay in remission. It is for adults aged 18 to 60 who are otherwise fairly healthy.
