Summary

This phase II, open-label, randomized trial will compare the efficacy of the novel regimen of cladribine/low-dose cytarabine alternating with decitabine to the current standard of care regimen of hypomethylating agents (decitabine or azacitidine) plus venetoclax in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are either elderly or unfit for intensive induction. Subjects will be randomized to be treated with either cladribine/low-dose cytarabine alternating with decitabine (Arm A) or decitabine or azacitadine plus venetoclax (Arm B).
