Chemotherapy Plus Venetoclax

Phase II Study of Cladribine Plus Idarubicin Plus Cytarabine (ARAC) in Patients With AML, HR MDS, or Myeloid Blast Phase of CML

What's the purpose of the trial?

This phase II trial studies how well cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax work in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Experimental Treatments

Learn more about the experimental treatments being evaluated in this clinical trial.

  • Cladribine is a chemotherapy medication approved for use in hairy cell leukemia, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and multiple sclerosis. 
  • Cytarabine is an antineoplastic chemotherapy agent that is FDA approved to treat several different kinds of leukemia.
  • Gilteritinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is approved for acute myeloma leukemia patients who are FLT-3 positive. It is currently being studied for use in several different indications.
  • Idarubicin is an anti-neoplastic chemotherapy drug used to treat several different kinds of cancers.
  • Midostaurin is a multitarget protein kinase inhibitor that inhibits some proteins that cancer cells need to grow, and may cause cancer cell death.
  • Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor that may work by blocking the action of the BCL-2 protein on some cancer cells which can lead to cell death.
