Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Combining the results of previous studies and based on the clinical practice in our center, we designed the Venetoclax in combination with 3days-Decitabine regimen for induction therapy in elderly or unfit AML patients with a primary diagnosis, and set Venetoclax in combination with Azacitidine (VIALE-A) as a control group to compare the efficacy and safety and to provide evidence for the optimal selection of the clinical treatment regimen.

PRIMARY ENDPOINT: To assess whether Venetoclax in combination with 3 days-diascitabine versus standard dose Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine improves event-free survival (EFS) in elderly or adult patients with unfit AML during the maximum follow-up period. Event-free survival was defined as the absence of events such as treatment failure, intolerance withdrawal, all-cause death, or achievement of CR or CRi, or relapse after MLFS, whichever occurred first, between patients' randomization and the maximum follow-up period. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve CR or CRi, MLFS after 2 courses of induction therapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Event-free survival [up to 12 months]

      Event-free survival was defined as the absence of events such as treatment failure, intolerance withdrawal, all-cause death, or relapse after achieving CR or CRi, MLFS, whichever occurred first, between patients' randomization and the maximum follow-up period. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve CR or CRi, MLFS after 2 courses of induction therapy.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. overall survival rate [up to 12 months]

      Survival of patients from initiation of treatment to maximum follow-up period

    2. CR/CRi rate [up to 12 months]

      CR/CRi rate from initiation of treatment to maximum follow-up period

    3. First course CR/CRi rate [up to 1 months]

      CR/CRi rate in patients after receiving the first course of induction therapy
