The achievement of complete remission (CR) is crucial for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients undertaking curative therapy, but relapse often occurs within months, highlighting the need for strategies to prolong disease-free survival (DFS). Our phase III study compared the efficacy and safety of azacitidine (AZA) to best supportive care (BSC) in elderly AML patients who achieved CR following intensive induction and consolidation therapy. This ancillary study (QOL-ONE Trans-2) evaluated biological changes in bone marrow using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the absolute risk of infection in the real-life setting of AML patients treated with CPX-351. The study included all patients with AML from 30 Italian hematology centers of the SEIFEM group who received CPX-351 from July 2018 to June 2021. There were 200 patients included.

This phase-3 randomized multicenter trial evaluated the efficacy of subcutaneous azacitidine (AZA) post-remission therapy vs. best supportive care (BSC) in elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. The primary endpoint was the difference in disease-free survival (DFS) from complete remission (CR) to relapse/death.
