NPMc+ AML Clinical Trial
Official title:
Measurable-residual Disease (MRD) Monitoring of Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Pre-emptive Therapy With Oral Arsenic Trioxide-based Regimen
A prospective open-label phase 2 study will be designed to assess the efficacy of oral arsenic trioxide plus azacitidine in preventing relapses in patients with NPM1-mutant AML. After screening and eligibility assessment, patients will receive treatment with oral arsenic trioxide plus azacitidine for 12 months. The recruitment period will last for 24 months and it will take approximately 36 months for study completion.
