Conditions
Summary
This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III clinical trial aimed at comparing the efficacy of two induction chemotherapy regimens-VA (Venetoclax + Azacitidine) and D/IA (Daunorubicin/Idarubicin + Cytarabine)-in elderly patients (aged 55-75) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are fit for intensive chemotherapy.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria9
- Diagnosis of AML according to WHO (2022) or ICC criteria.
- Age ≥55 and ≤75 years.
- ECOG performance status score of 0-2.
- Adequate organ function:
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST and ALT ≤2.5× ULN
- Serum creatinine \<2× ULN
- Cardiac enzymes \<2× ULN
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, by echocardiogram) within normal range Signed informed consent by the patient or legal representative.
Exclusion Criteria8
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML-RARA fusion gene.
- AML with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or CBFB-MYH11 fusion genes.
- AML with BCR-ABL fusion gene.
- Relapsed or refractory AML (previously treated with induction chemotherapy, but hydroxyurea is allowed).
- Concurrent other malignancies requiring treatment.
- Active cardiac disease (e.g., uncontrolled angina, recent myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmias, uncontrolled heart failure, LVEF below normal).
- Severe infectious diseases (e.g., untreated tuberculosis, pulmonary aspergillosis).
- Other conditions deemed unsuitable by the investigator.
