flag A new trial finds aza-ven beats chemo for fit AML patients, doubling survival and reducing deaths.

flag A new clinical trial shows that the combination of azacitidine and venetoclax (aza-ven) significantly improves outcomes for fit, newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients compared to traditional chemotherapy. flag In a study of 172 adults, aza-ven doubled event-free survival to 14.6 months versus 6.2 months, reduced early deaths to zero, and led to higher response rates and more patients eligible for stem cell transplants. flag The regimen also improved quality of life and reduced hospitalizations, with similar severe side effect rates. flag These results support aza-ven as a safer, more effective frontline option for fit AML patients, potentially replacing intensive chemotherapy.
