REMAIN1 Trial Summary

This trial will test if giving oral medication to AML patients after their first round of treatment is a feasible option. These patients are eligible for a transplant but may face challenges due to lack of medical resources

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who've finished initial therapy and are in remission but face health disparities. They must be able to take pills, have decent organ function, and not have certain AML types or mutations. Women must avoid pregnancy during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if transplant-eligible AML patients in first complete response can maintain their disease status using oral Azacitidine while facing social and health inequalities. It's about finding out if this pill form of treatment works for those less served by healthcare.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Oral Azacitidine may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, stomach pain; it might also lower blood cell counts increasing infection risk and causing tiredness or shortness of breath.
