Study Summary

This trial will test a new maintenance therapy for AML in Japanese patients 55+ who've already had chemo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Japanese individuals aged 55 or older with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are in complete remission after intensive chemotherapy. They must not have had prior bone marrow transplants, treatment with hypomethylating agents for MDS that led to AML within four months, or certain types of leukemia like acute promyelocytic leukemia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of oral azacitidine plus best supportive care versus just best supportive care as maintenance therapy in patients who've achieved remission from AML following chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Oral azacitidine may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue and weakness. It can also lower blood cell counts increasing infection risk and causing anemia or bleeding problems.
