Venetoclax Add in Combination With Fludarabine, Cyratabine and Idarubicine in Induction for Acute Myelid Leukemia — V-FIRST  

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial

Official title: Study Investigating Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of Venetoclax Add in Combination With Fludarabine, Cyratabine and Idarubicine in Induction of New Onset Non-M3 Acute Myelid Leukemia

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will test the effectiveness and safety of Venetoclax in combination with standard induction regimen for patients with acute leukemia and poor prognosis.

Clinical Trial Description

Intensive treatment of Acute Leukemia, multidrug based chemotherapy induction, achieves complete remission (CR) rates ranging from 50% to 80%. Nonetheless, the majority (60- 70%) of responding patients will eventually relapse. Patients with non-low risk leukemia according most diffuse risk scores have a poor prognosis and a short survival. For these patient traditional chemotherapy seems to be ineffective, even with BMT consolidation, probably due to activation of survival pathways in Leukemia cells, so that novel therapeutic interventions should be attempted. This study will test the effectiveness and safety of Venetoclax, a selective BCL2 inhibitor, in combination with standard induction regimen. Inhibiting anti-apoptotic pathway of BCL2, the investigators expect to improve success rate of standard chemotherapies. ;
