Conditions

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Brief summary

Objective: This clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of the VA-CAG regimen administered as a two-week schedule versus a three-week schedule for induction remission in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Key Research Questions: 1. Is the efficacy of the two-week VA-CAG regimen equivalent to that of the three-week regimen in inducing remission in AML? 2. Does the two-week VA-CAG regimen reduce treatment-related adverse events compared to the three-week regimen? Methods: Researchers will compare the efficacy and safety of the two-week VA-CAG regimen with the three-week regimen for induction remission in AML. Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive standard treatment with either the two-week or three-week VA-CAG regimen. Patients are required to attend monthly follow-up visits for a total of one year. At each follow-up, the following assessments will be performed: complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, bone marrow aspiration, flow cytometric measurement of minimal residual disease (MRD), and/or fusion gene analysis, along with monitoring of other efficacy endpoints and adverse reactions.

Interventions

DRUGVenetoclax,Azacitidine,Arubicin,Cytarabine,G-CSF.

Specific Medication for the VACAG Protocol: 1. Two-week regimen group Azacitidine: 75 mg/m² on days 1-7 by subcutaneous injection, Venetoclax: 100 mg on Day 1, 200 mg on Day 2, 400 mg on Days 3-14, oral, Arubicin: 12-14 mg/m² on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 (IV infusion), Cytarabine: 10 mg/m² every 12 hours on days 1-7, subcutaneous injection, G-CSF: 5 μg/kg on days 0-8; discontinue if WBC \> 20 × 10⁹/L; 2. Three-week regimen group Venetoclax administered for 21 days; dosage and administration are the same as in the 2-week regimen group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
CR rateAt the end of Cycle 1 of induction (each cycle is about 30 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adverse EventsFrom the first day of induction until the starting day of the next cycle of therapy (up to 60 days)Safety and tolerability analysis will be assessed by the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Duration of remissionFrom the date of the first remission until the date of relapse (assessed up to 30 months)DOR was defined as the period from the time to acquire CR until relapse
Minimal Residual Disease negative remission rate (MRD-negative rate)After 1 cycle of induction (each cycle is about 30 days)Percentage of participants who converted to MRD \< 10\^-3 by flow cytometry before initiation of consolidation therapy.
