Study of the Relationship Between the Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics of Venetoclax in Patients With Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (EUREKA-VEN)

May 7, 2026 updated by: Centre Leon Berard

Prospective, Multicenter, Clinical-biological Cohort Study to Assess Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) of Venetoclax (VEN) in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

This is a prospective, multicenter, clinical-biological cohort study. Its objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) of venetoclax (VEN) in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

This study involves only minimal risks and constraints related to the collection of biological samples (blood samples for PK testing) and the collection of clinical data. Therapeutic management of patients participating in this study is not changed. A total of 100 patients will be included in the study over a 12-month period. A maximum of 21 additional samples are planned, with a maximum of 12 mL of blood per sampling day (4 mL at each sampling time) for PK dosing of venetoclax.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female patient aged of at least 18 years on day of signing informed consent
  • Patient with histologically-confirmed diagnosis of Acute Myeloblactic Leukaemia according to classification ELN 2022 (European Leukemia Net 2022)
