Bcl-2 Inhibitors Combined With Azacytidine and Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients With Previously Untreated AML

April 24, 2022 updated by: Long Zhao, LanZhou University

Clinical Study of Bcl-2 Inhibitors Combined With Azacytidine and Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

In this prospective study, 30 newly untreated elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML) who were not suitable for standard chemotherapy were enrolled to observe the efficacy and side effects of venetoclax (VEN) combined with azacytidine (AZA) and chemotherapy in newly treated elderly patients with AML. Overall survival (OS), complete remission rate/complete remission with incomplete recovery of blood cell count (CR/ CRi) were used as the primary endpoints, and time to response (TTR), duration of response (DOR), mortality, and recurrence rate were used as secondary endpoints,and the incidence of adverse events were evaluated.

Detailed Description

Induction therapy: venetoclax d1 100mg, d2 200mg, d3-28 400mg, po; azacytidine 75mg/m2, d1-7, sc. Consolidation therapy: Regimen A or B was chosen according to the wishes of the patients. In addition, venetoclax was used for 14 days for positive minimal residual disease(MRD) and 7 days for MRD negative.

regimen A: the first two cycles: venetoclax 400mg, d1-7/14, po; cladribine 5mg/m2, d1-3, ivgtt; cytarabine 10mg/m2, q12h, d1-10, sc; the last two cycles: venetoclax 400mg, d1-7/14, po; cytarabine 0.5-1.0g/m2, d1-3, ivgtt; regimen B: the first two cycles: venetoclax 400mg, d1-7/14, po; cytarabine 100mg/m2, d1-5/7, ivgtt; idarubicin 8mg/m2, d1-2/3, ivgtt; the last two cycles: venetoclax 400mg, d1-7/14, po; cytarabine 0.5-1.0g/m2, d1-3, ivgtt; If the patient's ECOG performance status ≥2, the reduction of regimen IA(cytarabine+idarubicin)was 5+2. Maintenance therapy: azacytidine 75mg/m2, d1-7, sc.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
