Detailed Description
Venetoclax plus azacitidine are effective in treating newly diagnosed AML in patients who cannot recieve intensive chemotherapy. However there is no clinical data rewarding the efficacy and safety of low-dose venetoclax and azacitidine as first-line therapy. This phase 2 clinical trial will explore the efficacy and safety of low-dose venetoclax (100mg /day/21 days) and a fixed dose of azacitidine (75mg/m2, maximun dose 100mg, SC for seven consecutive days) for a maximun of two cycles.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Feasibility will be address by obtaining the proportion of patients who need hospitalization [1 month]
If therapy is feasible >50% of patients will recieve their first cycle of treatment without hospitalization
- Safety will be defined by the number of patients deceased before 14 days of initiating treatment [2 weeks]
If therapy is safe then <5% of patients will die in the first 14 days of treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Efficacy will be achieved if the overall response rate is similar to standard of care (7+3) [2 months]
If the therapy is effective then overall response rates will be similar to those reported with standard of care (7+3)
