Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax in Combination With Azacitidine and HA Regimen in the Treatment of AML in the Elderly
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective phase II, single-arm clinical study that plans to enroll 45 patients aged 60 years or older with primary AML diagnosed after April 1, 2023.The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine and HA regimens in elderly patients aged >60 years with primary acute myeloid leukemia and to provide evidence for optimal selection of clinical treatment regimens.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Patients diagnosed with primary AML according to morphology, immunophenotyping and medical history and meeting the exclusion criteria for enrollment: induction therapy with Venetoclax combined with azacitidine and HA regimen, after induction therapy up to CR, CRi, MLFS, according to ELN prognostic stratification and NCCN and Chinese guidelines for the treatment of adult AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia), according to patient risk stratification and treatment For patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to various reasons (financial, physical, and other reasons), the patient will be recommended for transplantation. Patients who are not considered for allogeneic HSCT due to various reasons (financial, physical, donor constraints, etc.) will continue to receive two courses of intensive treatment with Venetoclax combined with a medium-dose Ara-c regimen and three courses of reduced-dose chemotherapy for consolidation. Patients completing intensive consolidation therapy enter maintenance treatment with Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine, danazol and thalidomide. Patients who do not achieve CR, CRi and MLFS with 1 course of induction therapy will be re-induced with the original regimen if they achieve PR. Patients who did not achieve PR on the first induction treatment and did not achieve CR, CRi, and MLFS after two induction treatments were dropped from the group and given salvage therapy. Patients with persistent positive MRD or recurrence during treatment were withdrawn from the group and given salvage therapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall response rate (ORR) [up to 12 months]
which evaluates the efficacy of patient induction therapy, including complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi), and morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Minimal residual disease (MRD) [up to 12 months]
MRD percentage
- overall survival (OS) [up to 12 months]
Overall Survival (OS) is used to evaluate all patients enrolled in a clinical trial, from the date of enrollment until death from any cause or the date of last follow-up for surviving patients.
- relapse-free survival (RFS) [up to 12 months]
Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) is only used to evaluate patients who achieve complete remission (CR) through reinduction therapy. RFS is defined as the time from achievement of CR until death from any cause, relapse, or the date of last follow-up.
- 30-day mortality rate [Within 30 days after starting the medication]
The 30-day mortality rate is used to evaluate all patients enrolled in a clinical trial, and is defined as the percentage of patients who die within 30 days of starting chemotherapy.
- adverse drug reactions [up to 12 months]
Adverse drug reactions during chemotherapy and follow-up
