About this study
Official title: A Phase I-II, Multicentre, Open Label Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of the Combination of Low-dose Cytarabine or Azacitidine, Plus Venetoclax and Quizartinib in Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Aged Equal or More Than 60 Years Old Ineligible for Standard Induction Chemotherapy
A phase I-II trial based on the combination of three drugs regimen LDAC or Azacitidine + Venetoclax + Quizartinib that in this population could be well tolerated by a sequential type administration. The first objective is to achieve rapid control of the disease, using two different schemes, one based in Azacitidine and the other in LDAC, by dose escalation in phase I of the trial. The second goal is to prevent relapse through a maintenance schedule. Phase II will study the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose for Phase II
Read the detailed description
The prognosis of AML in elderly patients remain very poor and without significant advances in last decades. AML is a heterogeneous disease in which many altered molecular pathways could contribute to the disease. Thus, curative approaches have been based on highly eradicating regimens using high-dose chemotherapy. However, the low rate of CRs and the high rate of deaths due to toxicity and relapses in elderly patients should stimulate the development of new regimens that overcome these therapeutic obstacles. In recent years, there are a series of new drugs under development that allow the design of sequential combination therapies in this vulnerable population. These drugs have an acceptable toxicity profile and are apparently effective in monotherapy or even in combination, being able to improve the CR rate in this population. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of two targeted drugs that have different mechanisms of action could be capable of breaking the viability of leukemic cells as well as their proliferative qualities, and therefore prolong survival. In this way, the combined action of a pro-apoptotic agent (Venetoclax) and an antiproliferative agent (Quizartinib) could produce a powerful antileukemic effect, preventing the adaptive escape mechanisms of leukemic cells. The investigators have designed a phase I-II trial based on the combination of three drugs regimen LDAC or Azacitidine + Venetoclax + Quizartinib that in this population could be well tolerated by a sequential type administration. The first objective is to achieve rapid control of the disease, using two different schemes, one based in Azacitidine and the other in LDAC, by dose escalation in phase I of the trial. The second goal is to prevent relapse through a maintenance schedule. Phase II will study the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose for Phase II.

- Model description
- Phase 1: Study treatment will start at level 1 and therapeutic level will be escalated or descalated depending on the apparition of DLT. DLT will be monitored during cycle 1 and it is defined as any grade 3-4 related extrahematological toxicity or grade 4 neutropenia not recovered on day 56 since C1D1 not attributable to persistent leukemia. Phase I will consist of two parallel dose escalation cohorts, with consecutive assignment to each group (first patient will be assigned to AZA-based schedule, second to LDAC-based, third to AZA-based, etc). Phase II includes two treatment arm groups (AZA-based RP2D vs. LDAC-based RP2D). Patients will be enrolled at diagnosis, within a maximum 28 days screening period, will be assessed for eligibility and therefore randomized to follow the assigned treatment arm (open label design). All screening activities will be performed after patient's informed consent form is signed. Patients will start the assigned regimen 48h maximum after randomization.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
A phase I-II trial based on the combination of three drugs regimen LDAC or Azacitidine + Venetoclax + Quizartinib that in this population could be well tolerated by a sequential type administration. The first objective is to achieve rapid control of the disease, using two different schemes, one based in Azacitidine and the other in LDAC, by dose escalation in phase I of the trial. The second goal is to prevent relapse through a maintenance schedule. Phase II will study the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose for Phase II
Detailed description
The prognosis of AML in elderly patients remain very poor and without significant advances in last decades. AML is a heterogeneous disease in which many altered molecular pathways could contribute to the disease. Thus, curative approaches have been based on highly eradicating regimens using high-dose chemotherapy. However, the low rate of CRs and the high rate of deaths due to toxicity and relapses in elderly patients should stimulate the development of new regimens that overcome these therapeutic obstacles. In recent years, there are a series of new drugs under development that allow the design of sequential combination therapies in this vulnerable population. These drugs have an acceptable toxicity profile and are apparently effective in monotherapy or even in combination, being able to improve the CR rate in this population. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of two targeted drugs that have different mechanisms of action could be capable of breaking the viability of leukemic cells as well as their proliferative qualities, and therefore prolong survival. In this way, the combined action of a pro-apoptotic agent (Venetoclax) and an antiproliferative agent (Quizartinib) could produce a powerful antileukemic effect, preventing the adaptive escape mechanisms of leukemic cells. The investigators have designed a phase I-II trial based on the combination of three drugs regimen LDAC or Azacitidine + Venetoclax + Quizartinib that in this population could be well tolerated by a sequential type administration. The first objective is to achieve rapid control of the disease, using two different schemes, one based in Azacitidine and the other in LDAC, by dose escalation in phase I of the trial. The second goal is to prevent relapse through a maintenance schedule. Phase II will study the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose for Phase II.

- Model description
- Phase 1: Study treatment will start at level 1 and therapeutic level will be escalated or descalated depending on the apparition of DLT. DLT will be monitored during cycle 1 and it is defined as any grade 3-4 related extrahematological toxicity or grade 4 neutropenia not recovered on day 56 since C1D1 not attributable to persistent leukemia. Phase I will consist of two parallel dose escalation cohorts, with consecutive assignment to each group (first patient will be assigned to AZA-based schedule, second to LDAC-based, third to AZA-based, etc). Phase II includes two treatment arm groups (AZA-based RP2D vs. LDAC-based RP2D). Patients will be enrolled at diagnosis, within a maximum 28 days screening period, will be assessed for eligibility and therefore randomized to follow the assigned treatment arm (open label design). All screening activities will be performed after patient's informed consent form is signed. Patients will start the assigned regimen 48h maximum after randomization.
| Arm | Type | Receives |
|---|---|---|
| AZA-Based | Experimental | Drug: Azacitidine, Drug: Venetoclax, Drug: QuizartinibAzacitidine 75 mg/m2/daily SC on a 5-on/2-off [weekend]/2-on schedule in 28-day cycle plus Venetoclax (ramp-up) 400 mg/daily oral, days 1 to 28 plus Quizartinib phase I/RP2D mg/daily oral, days 8 to 14-28. If 1 DLT is observed among these 3 patients, additional 3 subjects will receive the level 2 dose, and it will be recommended in the absence of DLT between them. If >1 DLT occurs in these 6 level 2 patients, the dose administered in the level 1 will be the RP2D of the AZA-based schedule. AZA and Venetoclax doses will remain the same in all levels and only the dose of Quizartinib will be modificated according to the following table: Escalation-Quizartinib dose-Quizartinib duration; Level-2 -30 mg/daily-Days 8 to 14; Level-1 -30 mg/daily-Days 8 to 21; Level1-40 mg/daily Days 8 to 28; Level2-60 mg/daily-Days 8 to 28. In phase II, patients randomized to this arm, will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) regimen of AZA + Venetoclax + Quizartinib regimen (30 patients). |
| LDAC-Based | Experimental | Drug: Cytarabine, Drug: Venetoclax, Drug: QuizartinibLow-dose subcutaneous cytarabine 20 mg/m2/daily SC, days 1 to 10 plus Venetoclax (ramp-up) 600 mg/daily oral, days 1 to 28 plus Quizartinib phase I/RP2D mg/daily oral, days 8 to 14-28. If 1 DLT is observed among these 3 patients, additional 3 subjects will receive the level 2 dose, and it will be recommended in the absence of DLT between them. If >1 DLT occurs in these 6 level 2 patients, the dose administered in the level 1 will be the RP2D of the LDAC-based schedule. LDAC and Venetoclax doses will remain the same in all levels and only the dose of Quizartinib will be modificated according to the following table: Escalation-Quizartinib dose-Quizartinib duration; Level-2 -30 mg/daily-Days 8 to 14; Level-1 -30 mg/daily-Days 8 to 21; Level1-40 mg/daily-Days 8 to 28; Level2-60 mg/daily-Days 8 to 28. In phase II, patients randomized to this arm, will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) regimen of LDAC + Venetoclax + Quizartinib regimen (30 patients). |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Azacitidine, Venetoclax and Quizartinib in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute and De Novo, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 15 sites in Spain.
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 14 inclusion and 30 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in Spain. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Phase I: Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (time frame: Approximately 6 months after first patient first visit (FPFV)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04687761, which also lists 23 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 13 May 2026.
