About this study
Official title: Multicenter,Open Label,Phase 2 Clinical Study of Venetoclax Combined With CACAG Regimen in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen with the traditional "3+7" regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
Read the detailed description
Despite the availability of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the emergence of many new therapeutic drugs, the prognosis of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia is still poor.Over the past years, combination chemotherapy with anthracycline and standard dose cytarabine (standard "3+7" induction therapy) remains the standard induction. In order to improve the outcome of patients with de novo AML, we developed a venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen in the treatment of de novo AML. In this study, we intent to compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen with the traditional "3+7" regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Azacytidine;Cytarabine;Aclacinomycin;Chidamide;Venetoclax;Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and "3+7" in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 20 Jan 2026. 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 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?
Overall Response Rate (ORR) after 1 course of treatment (time frame: 1 months after the start of study treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Jan 2026.
