Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, Phase I clinical study with expansion. It will assess the safety and efficacy of high-dose ascorbate administered concomitantly with azacitidine and venetoclax in newly diagnosed AML.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Azacitidine

A chemotherapy drug known as a hypomethylating agent

DRUG

Venetoclax

Targeted cancer therapy used to treat certain blood cancers. It specifically targets a protein called BCL-2 to trigger the self-destruction of cancer cells.

DRUG

High-dose ascorbate

Administering vitamin C intravenously to achieve very high concentrations in the bloodstream. In contrast to low doses, which act as antioxidants, these pharmacological doses can function as a pro-oxidant, killing cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

DRUG

Decitabine

Azacitidine may be substituted with decitabine 20 mg/m2 daily, on days 1-5, at PI discretion in the event of toxicity/drug supply shortage.
