Azacitidine Combined With Venetoclax and ATRA in Newly Diagnosed AML

A Single Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficiency of Azacitidine (AZA) Combination With Venetoclax and ATRA in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This is a single arm study to evaluate the safety and efficiency of azacitidine (AZA) combination with venetoclax and ATRA in Patients With Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Azacitidine, venetoclax and ATRA, may stop the growth of cancer cells, either by demethylation, by promoting cells differentiation or by killing the cells.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Acute Myeloid Leukemia
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Azacitidine Combined With Venetoclax and ATRA group

Detailed Description

This study include newly diagnosed AML patients who will accept the therapy with AZA combined with venetoclax and ATRA: (1)Inductive therapy: AZA 75mg/m² per day for days 1-7 and venetoclax 100mg orally for day 2 , 200mg orally for day 3, 300mg orally for day4-6, 400mg orally for day7-10,ATRA 45mg/m² for day 12-28, every 28 days for up to 2 cycles or progression; (2)Consolidate therapy:ATRA 45mg/m2 per day for d1-21 ,AZA 70mg/m² per day for days 1-7, every 28 days for up to 4 cycles or progression; (3) Maintenance therapy:ATRA 45mg/m2 for d1-21 every 28 days,AZA 70mg/m² per day for days 1-7, every 3 month till progression;
