NCT ID: NCT05361057 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Efficacy of Venetoclax Based Regimen in Prevention Relapse of Consecutive MRD Positive AML Patients

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Measurable disease (MRD) plays an important role in the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Studies show that persistent MRD positivity after induction indicates that the patient has a higher risk of recurrence. Even if the patient is assessed as a low risk group, once there is persistent MRD positive, Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT) or clinical trials should be considered to improve the overall survival of patients. However, some patients cannot accept allo HSCT due to economic reasons or lack of suitable donors. How to prolong the recurrence free survival of these patients is still a great challenge. Platzbecker et al. applied azacytidine (AZA) monotherapy to AML patients with continuous MRD positive after combined chemotherapy. The results showed that the preemptive treatment of AZA could prevent or significantly delay the hematological relapse of MDS or AML patients with MRD positive. In addition, the application of venetoclax has significantly changed the therapeutic prospect of AML and provided new opportunities. Studies have shown that venetoclax can enhance the activity of anti HMA, cytarabine, idarubicin and other drugs. The curative effect of venetoclax combined with AZA in the treatment of elderly AML patients who are not suitable for intensive treatment is better than that of single AZA regimen, and the negative rate of MRD after induction treatment of venetoclax combined with HMA is higher (54-81%). Therefore, the investigators believe that for patients who continue to be MRD positive after induction and consolidation treatment, venetoclax based regimen may be an effective preemptive treatment regimen, which can prolong the relapse free time and overall survival of these patients
