Study of how azacytidine works in blood cancers
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain enzymes in your body affect the way a drug called azacytidine works against blood cancers like acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to better understand who might benefit most from this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
- You are willing to provide a blood or bone marrow sample for genetic testing
- You are able to use effective birth control if you could become pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at why some people with higher-risk blood cancers (MDS/AML-MD) do not respond as well to azacitidine. The goal is to learn the causes of resistance so future treatments may work better.
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining azacitidine (a standard blood cancer medicine) with vitamin C helps improve disease control by changing DNA activity in high-risk blood cancers. It may be an option if you have certain types of higher-risk MDS, CMML, or low-blast AML and can meet safety requirements.
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, chidamide and azacitidine (AZA), can help people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who still have small amounts of leukemia cells (called MRD) after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this treatment can clear those leftover cells and lower the chance of the leukemia coming back.
This early-phase study tests whether combining two “epigenetic” medicines—azacitidine and decitabine—can improve outcomes for certain bone marrow cancers. It may help if you have a type of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS/MPN overlap that is expected to be sensitive to these medicines.
This early-phase trial tests whether a combination of targeted medicines can improve outcomes in people with higher-risk MDS or certain types of AML or CMML. It’s designed to find the safest dose and learn if the treatment can help the cancer respond.
This trial looks at certain chemical changes in blood cells of two groups of people aged 60 or older: those having heart surgery (control group) and those with a type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who will be treated with a drug called azacitidine. The goal is to find markers that could help personalize treatment for AML in seniors.
