HAV Versus DAV/IAV Induction Regimen in Elderly Patients With AML

HAV Versus DAV/IAV Induction Regimen in Elderly Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Suitable for Intensive Chemotherapy: a Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia in China, with a high incidence in elderly patients (≥60 years), who comprise over half of all cases (median age \~68 years). Elderly AML patients have a poor prognosis and carry multiple high-risk factors, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of only 3-8%. Before the era of novel targeted agents, the classic "3+7" regimen was the standard intensive chemotherapy for eligible elderly patients, yielding an induction complete remission (CR) rate of 40-60%. Long-term survival remained poor, as most elderly patients are not candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Recent clinical studies have shown that combinations of novel targeted agents with hypomethylating agents improve outcomes in elderly or unfit patients. In a previously initiated multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial (NCT06066242), the investigators aimed to identify the optimal induction regimen for elderly fit patients with newly diagnosed AML. Preliminary data indicate that the DNR/IDA + Ara-C + venetoclax (DAV/IAV) regimen achieved a higher induction remission rate (77.3%) compared with DA/IA (3+7) or Ven + azacitidine (45-59%). However, this rate remains below that observed in younger adults (\>85%), highlighting the need for further optimization.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Retreated patients (referring to those who have previously undergone induction chemotherapy but can receive hydroxyurea for cytoreduction).

Other illness

  • Patients concurrently suffering from malignant tumors in other organs (requiring treatment).
  • Active cardiac diseases, defined as one or more of the following:
    • 1\) Uncontrolled or symptomatic angina pectoris history; 2) Myocardial infarction less than 6 months from the time of enrollment in the study; 3) History of arrhythmias requiring drug treatment or with severe clinical symptoms; 4) Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure (\> NYHA Grade 2);
    • 7\. Severe infectious diseases (untreated tuberculosis, pulmonary aspergillosis).
    • 8\. Those considered ineligible for enrollment by the researcher.

Other

  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia accompanied by the PML-RARA fusion gene
  • Acute myeloid leukemia accompanied by the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene
  • Acute myeloid leukemia accompanied by the BCR-ABL fusion gene

Who the study is looking for

  • Conforming to the diagnostic criteria of AML or MDS/AML by WHO (2022) or ICC.
  • Age ≥ 60 years and ≤ 75 years, regardless of gender.
  • The performance status assessment of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG-PS) is 0 - 2.
  • Meeting the requirements of the following laboratory examination indicators (performed within 7 days before treatment):
    • 1\) Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for the same age group; 2) AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal for the same age group; 3) Serum creatinine \< 2 times the upper limit of normal for the same age group; 4) Cardiac enzymes \< 2 times the upper limit of normal for the same age group; 5) The cardiac ejection fraction determined by echocardiography (ECHO) \> 50%. The informed consent form must be signed before the initiation of all specific research procedures. It should be signed by the patient himself/herself or an immediate family member. Considering the patient's condition, if the patient's signature is not conducive to the treatment of the disease, the informed consent form should be signed by the legal guardian or an immediate family member of the patient.
