Investigating Novel Therapies for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Rising Measurable Residual Disease and/or Morphological Relapse, ALLG AMLM26 INTERCEPT Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and side effects of new therapies and combinations of therapies and how well they work in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with rising measurable residual disease (MRD) and/or leukemia in the bone marrow, blood or other areas (morphologic relapse). AML is a cancer involving the blood cells in the bone marrow and blood. Even after completing treatment, the risk of AML returning is possible because of MRD. MRD is small amounts of cancer that can persist in the bone marrow and/or blood and can only be detected using special tests. Rising levels of MRD have been found to be strongly linked to disease progression. This trial tests a number of different therapies including targeted and non-targeted therapy options. Targeted therapy means that the drugs are used to target specific genes which have been identified to be involved in the growth and spread of leukemia. Non-targeted means that the action of the drug is not specific to a target gene, but will act on all leukemia cells. Treating patients at the MRD stage compared to those with morphologic relapse may improve outcomes in patients with AML.
