AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (not APL) who carry an NPM1, IDH1 or IDH2 gene mutation. It compares venetoclax plus azacitidine with standard 3+7 chemotherapy.
- Age
- 18 to 65 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, not acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
- Earlier treatment
- No earlier induction treatment, except hydroxyurea.
- Biomarker or test result
- NPM1 mutation (types A, B, D and rare types are accepted) and/or IDH1/IDH2 mutation at diagnosis.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia
- Leukemia spread outside the bone marrow, such as in the central nervous system
- Earlier CMML or MDS that later turned into AML, or a history of other cancer
- Uncontrolled active infection (bacterial, fungal or viral)
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women

This prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority clinical study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of VA regimen (venetoclax combined with azacitidine) versus conventional "3+7" chemotherapy regimen in adult patients aged 18 to 65 years with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carrying NPM1, IDH1 or IDH2 gene mutations.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled, Open Label, Non-Inferiority Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of the VA Regimen (Venetoclax Combined With Azacitidine) With the "3+7" Regimen in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed AML Patients With NPM1 or IDH1/IDH2 Mutations
This prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority clinical study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of VA regimen (venetoclax combined with azacitidine) versus conventional "3+7" chemotherapy regimen in adult patients aged 18 to 65 years with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carrying NPM1, IDH1 or IDH2 gene mutations.
The primary goal of this trial is to check whether the VA treatment can reach a non-inferior composite complete remission rate at the end of the induction treatment cycle, which is the key primary endpoint of this research. Several secondary clinical outcomes will also be evaluated in this study, including the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after remission, duration of remission, 1-year event-free survival rate and 1-year overall survival rate of enrolled patients. In addition, the safety and treatment-related side effects occurring during the whole induction treatment phase will be systematically collected and compared between two groups as another important secondary assessment.
Eligible enrolled participants will be randomly split into two study groups: patients in experimental group will receive venetoclax plus azacitidine (VA regimen), while patients in control group will receive standard "3+7" induction chemotherapy following conventional clinical protocol. All subjects will complete regular disease assessment, laboratory examinations and scheduled follow-up visits as required by trial design during treatment and post-treatment observation period.
Researchers will collect and analyze all above clinical outcome data from all participants, to verify the non-inferior efficacy and relative safety of VA regimen for this specific subtype of newly diagnosed AML patients.
Inclusion: Age ≥ 65 years old ≥ 18 years old; Diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (non APL) (diagnostic criteria refer to the 2022 ELN classification system); Initial diagnosis accompanied by NPM1 mutations (A, B, D types and rare types are all acceptable) and/or IDH1/IDH2 mutations; Have not received any other induction therapy before (except hydroxyurea); Physical fitness status score (ECOG PS) 0-3; Having sufficient organ function, defined as follows:; Liver function: serum total bilirubin ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal range (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3 x ULN, unless considered to be caused by leukemia; Renal function: endogenous creatinine clearance rate ≥ 30ml/min; Heart function: NYHA classification ≤ 2 points; Participants must have the ability to understand and be willing to participate in this study, and sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion: Have a clear history of CMML or MDS, and later progress to AML; Or have a history of malignant tumors; There is uncontrolled active infection (including bacterial, fungal, or viral infections); Acute promyelocytic leukemia; Merge extramedullary infiltration such as central nervous system leukemia; Pregnant or lactating women; Researchers determine that participants are not suitable to participate in this experiment.
