BCL2i CLAG-M in R/R Acute Myeloid Leukemia
What this study is about
This conducted at multiple hospitals, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given phase II study combines CLAG-based therapy with or without venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in order to improve measurable residual disease (MRD) clearance and event-free survival.
View original scientific description
This multicenter, open-label phase II study combines CLAG-based therapy with or without venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in order to improve measurable residual disease (MRD) clearance and event-free survival. Investigators hypothesize that the addition of venetoclax to CLAG-M in patients with relapsed or refractory AML is safe, and superior to CLAG-M alone in improving patient outcomes.
Interventions
DRUG
Cladribine, Cytarabine, Mitoxantrone, G-CSF (CLAG-M) regimen
Filgrastim/G-CSF 300 mcg/day for 6 days beginning 24 hours prior to multiagent chemotherapy (days 0-5), cladribine 5 mg/m2 given intravenously over 2 hours for 5 consecutive days (days 1-5), cytarabine given IV over 4 hours for 5 consecutive days (days 1-5) beginning 2 hours after the completion of cladribine, and mitoxantrone 16 mg/m2 given intravenously over 30 minutes for 3 days (days 1-3) after completion of cytarabine.
DRUG
Venetoclax
Venetoclax will be administered orally, once daily, with food.
Primary outcome measures
MRD-Negative Remission Rate
Time frame: Up to 18 months
The rate of MRD negative remission will be calculated for each arm.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
- Ability to understand and stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
- Adults aged ≥18 years - 80 years.
- Patients with documented refractory or relapsed AML: Refractory disease is defined as failure to achieve CR (i.e., \<5% blasts in BM or blood) with or without normal restoration of hematopoiesis (Cri) after at least 1 cycle of intensive induction therapy (or 2 cycles of non-intensive induction). Relapse: Recurrence of disease after achieving remission, meeting one or more of the following criteria: ≥ 5% blasts in the marrow or peripheral blood, extramedullary disease.
- Secondary AML arising out of MDS previously treated with HMA, HMA + venetoclax (if \> 3 months from venetoclax exposure), and/or 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy.
- Extramedullary AML with marrow involvement is allowed as long as concurrent medullary AML is present.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
