A Phase II Trial of Azacitidine (NSC-102816) Plus Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC-720568) as Induction and Post-Remission Therapy in Patients of Age 60 and Older With Previously Untreated Non-M3 Acute Myeloid Leukemia
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Azacitidine and Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin for Acute Myeloid Leukemia and 13 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 133 participants across 177 sites.
Detailed Summary
This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving azacitidine together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin to see how well it works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Azacitidine may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving azacitidine together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells.
