Comparing New Treatments for People With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia That Has an IDH2 Gene Change (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)
Recruiting
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help mo... Read More
