Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2b, randomized study aiming to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax plus azacytidine Versus daunorubicin plus cytarabine (conventional 7+3 regimen) in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with adverse risk featuress. Participants will be 1:1 randomly assigned to the VA and DA groups. Once remission was achieved, consolidated chemotherapy will be performed and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is strongly recommended. After completion of the study intervention, participants will be followed-up every 1 to 2 months for up to 2 years.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2b, randomized study aiming to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax plus azacytidine Versus daunorubicin plus cytarabine (conventional 7+3 regimen) in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with adverse risk featuress. Newly diagnosed AML patients with adverse risk features according to 2022 European Leukemia Net risk stratification will be enrolled. In the study, a novel second generation targeted sequencing panel for the fast screening of adverse mutations with 72-hours after the bone marrow samples will be utilized. Randomized participants will receive induction treatment . Participants will be 1:1 randomly assigned to the VA and DA groups. VA regimen comprises of azacytidine, 75mg/m2, subcutaneously, on days 1-7; venetoclax, orally, once a day, 100mg, d1; 200mg, d2; 400mg, days 3-28. DA regimen comprises of daunorubicin (60mg/m2) on days 1-3, intraveneously injection, and cytarabine (100mg/m2) on days 1-7, intraveneously injection, for 1 cycle. Once remission was achieved, consolidated chemotherapy will be performed and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is strongly recommended. After completion of the study intervention, participants will be followed-up every 1 to 2 months for up to 2 years.

Interventions

DRUGDaunorubicin
