Alternating Regimen of VA and Low-dose CHA in the Treatment of Unfit Newly Diagnosed AML

The Efficacy and Safety of VA Alternating With Low-dose CHA in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Unfit AML: a Prospective, Multi-centers, Single Arm Phase II Study


Sponsor

First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University

Enrollment

25 participants

Start Date

Sep 16, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial tests how well VA alternating with low-dose CHA works in treating unfit patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This is a prospective, multi-centers, single arm phase II study aimed to overcome VEN resistance and achieve greater MRD negative rate, providing better control of treatment for unfit AML.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing an alternating regimen of two treatment combinations — venetoclax plus azacitidine, and low-dose cytarabine plus homoharringtonine — for older adults or those unfit for intensive chemotherapy who have newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been newly diagnosed with AML (confirmed by 2022 WHO criteria) with no prior treatment - You are 60 or older, OR you are 18–59 but unable to tolerate intensive chemotherapy due to heart problems, lung disease, kidney failure, liver disease, or other serious conditions **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your AML developed from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or is a specific subtype (APL) or has a FLT3-ITD mutation - You have another active cancer - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGAlternately treated with VA/low CHA regimen

1. Induction Phase (4 alternating cycles): Participants will receive 4 cycles of alternating therapy: * VA Cycle: * Venetoclax 400 mg PO daily on Days 1-28 * Azacitidine 75 mg/m² SC daily on Days 1-7 * Low-dose CHA Cycle: * Cladribine 5 mg/m² IV daily on Days 1-3 * Homoharringtonine 1 mg/m² IV daily on Days 1-5 * Cytarabine 20 mg SC every 12 hours on Days 1-10 Alternating sequence: VA → CHA → VA → CHA → VA → CHA → VA → CHA 2. Maintenance Phase (24 months): Following induction, participants will receive: * Venetoclax 400 mg PO daily on Days 1-28 * Azacitidine 75 mg/m² SC daily on Days 1-7 Repeated every 28 days for 24 cycles. We aimed to compare this clinical intervention with standard VA which is: * Venetoclax 400 mg PO daily on Days 1-28 * Azacitidine 75 mg/m² SC daily on Days 1-7 Repeated every 28 days for at least 24 cycles.
