Venetoclax Plus Hypomethylating Agents and Subcutaneous Cytarabine for CEBPA-Mutated AML

Prospective Multicenter Clinical Study of Venetoclax Combined With Hypomethylating Agents and Subcutaneous Cytarabine in Induction Therapy for CEBPA-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a treatment combination-venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents (like azacitidine or decitabine) and low-dose cytarabine-works to treat adults with newly diagnosed CEBPA-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can't tolerate intensive chemotherapy. It will also check how safe this treatment combination is and explore how the disease might change if it comes back. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How well does this treatment combination prevent the disease from coming back (relapse-free survival)? 2. What percentage of participants achieve a good response (complete remission or complete remission with incomplete blood cell recovery) after 2 treatment cycles? 3. What percentage of participants have no detectable remaining leukemia cells (measurable residual disease, MRD) after treatment? What side effects do participants have, and how serious are these side effects? Participants will: 1. First, go through a 2-cycle "induction phase": Take venetoclax by mouth (100mg on day 1, 200mg on day 2, 400mg from day 3 to day 28), get hypomethylating agents (azacitidine injected under the skin or decitabine injected into a vein), and low-dose cytarabine (injected under the skin) as planned. 2. If they respond well to induction treatment, move to a "consolidation phase" and receive at least 4 more cycles of the same treatment combination. 3. Have regular check-ups during treatment (like blood tests, bone marrow tests, and heart checks) to monitor treatment response and side effects. 4. Be followed up for 2 years after treatment ends to check if the disease comes back and their overall health.
