RIC Allo-HSCT vs. Venetoclax-Based Consolidation in Elderly AML Patients After First CR
A Phase 4 study testing Venetoclax and Allogeneic transplant in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by He Huang at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
Elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often face unfavorable prognostic factors such as multiple comorbidities, adverse cytogenetic profiles, and pre-existing hematological disorders. The long-term survival rate remains very low, with a 5-year survival rate of only 5% to 10%. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Comparison to Consolidation Therapy Based Venetoclax for Elderly Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia After First CR
Elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often face unfavorable prognostic factors such as multiple comorbidities, adverse cytogenetic profiles, and pre-existing hematological disorders. The long-term survival rate remains very low, with a 5-year survival rate of only 5% to 10%. The introduction of the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (Ven) has improved the induction remission rates in elderly patients. However, the question of whether to use chemotherapy maintenance or proceed with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for post-remission consolidation therapy remains unclear due to the lack of prospective controlled studies. Therefore, our center plans to conduct a prospective, open-label, two-arm, non-randomized, single-center study to further explore the optimal consolidation treatment strategy for elderly AML patients at intermediate and high risk following induction complete remission (CR).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VenetoclaxDrug
The consolidation therapy involves a regimen of intermediate-dose cytarabine (Ara-C) combined with Ven, specifically Ara-C at 1.0 g/m²/day for 3 days (days 1-3) and Ven at 400 mg/day for 10 to 14 days (days 1-10 to 14), with each cycle lasting 4 to 6 weeks, for a total of 3 consolidation cycles. This is followed by maintenance therapy with azacitidine (AZA) at 50 mg/m²/day for 5 days (days 1-5), with each cycle lasting 4 weeks, for a total of 6 maintenance cycles.
Allogeneic transplantDrug
The consolidation therapy involves allo-HSCT, with the choice of conditioning regimens typically using reduced-intensity conditioning such as the Fludarabine+Busulfan (FluBu) or Fludarabine+Melphalan (FluMel) regimens commonly used by centers, which can also include Ven.
FluBu regimen: Flu 30 mg/m²/day from day -10 to day -5, Bu 3.2 mg/kg/day from day -6 to day -5 or day -7 to day -5, antithymocyte globulin (ATG) (e.g., rabbit ATG at a total dose of 6-7.5 mg/kg, administered from day -4 to day -1), and Ven from day -10 to day -4.
FluMel regimen: Flu 30 mg/m²/day from day -10 to day -5, Mel 50-70 mg/m²/day from day -4 to day -3, ATG and Ven from day -10 to day -4.
12 weeks (±4 weeks) post-HSCT maintenance begins with AZA at 32 mg/m²/day for 5 days (days 1-5), with each lasting 6 weeks, for a total of 6 cycles. Donor lymphocyte infusion is allowed in cases of minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Venetoclax and Allogeneic transplant in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by He Huang at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yanmin Zhao, PhD (15858199217, yanminzhao@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Relapse-free survival (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06571825, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2024.
