Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Daunorubicin /Idarubicin ± Silibinin in Treating Newly Diagnosed AML (Non-M3). (AML)

April 27, 2026 updated by: HuangMeiJuan, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital

Prospective Randomized Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Chemotherapy Protocols Containing Daunorubicin /Idarubicin ± Silibinin in Treating Newly Diagnosed AML (Non-M3)

Silibinin is the major active component of silymarin, a commonly used hepatoprotective agent. It stabilizes hepatocyte membranes, preserves cellular integrity, and accelerates DNA synthesis in liver cells. Clinically, it is widely used in the treatment of chronic persistent hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, early-stage liver cirrhosis, and hepatotoxicity. Moreover, it has been reported to inhibit the growth and differentiation of various cancer cells, including hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer.

Based on these preclinical findings, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining silybinin with the standard first-line idarubicin/daunorubicin-based regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute leukemia(non-M3)in a clinical setting.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Newly diagnosed acute leukemia(non-M3)confirmed according to the 2018 WHO classification criteria for the diagnosis and classification of acute leukemia;
  2. Suitable for standard chemotherapy regimens containing idarubicin/daunorubicin;
  3. Patients with an expected survival time of at least 3 months as determined by the investigator;
  4. Voluntarily agree to participate in this study and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of other malignant tumors concurrently or previously diagnosed malignancies not under control;
  2. Participation in other clinical trials within one month prior to screening;
  3. Presence of uncontrolled cerebrovascular diseases, coagulation disorders, connective tissue diseases, or other such conditions;
  4. Other uncontrolled diseases that the investigator considers inappropriate for inclusion;
  5. Patients with psychiatric disorders or other known or suspected inability to fully comply with the study protocol;
  6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
  7. History of liver cirrhosis, or current active liver disease or biliary disease;
  8. HIV-positive individuals;
  9. Any other conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, may prevent the subject from completing the study or pose significant risk to the subject.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame
overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: 1-year
subjects survival after treatment are finished
1-year
overall remission rate (ORR)
Time Frame: At the end of Cycle 1 and Cycle 12 (each cycle is 1 month)
subjects achieving complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) at the end of cycle 1and cycle 2(each cycle is 1 month)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
