Decitabine + Venetoclax Maintenance After Transplant

Venetoclax is a BCL2 inhibitor. It is administered at low doses and used in combination with other hypomethylating agents such as decitabine to manage participants with acute myeloid lymphoma who have undergone stem cell transplant. Participants will initiate therapy with decitabine that will be followed by venetoclax 400 mg oral 6-8 hours later.

Decitabine is a hypomethylating agent. It is administered at low doses and used in combination with venetoclax to manage participants with acute myeloid lymphoma who have undergone stem cell transplant. Participants initiate therapy with 5 mg/m2 decitabine subcutaneous every week followed by venetoclax.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults. While 60-80% patients can achieve remission, a high rate of relapse mandates consolidative treatment. Unfortunately, 40% of AML patients and 30% of myelodysplastic syndrome patients will relapse after alloSCT, and those who relapse after transplant exhibit poor outcomes. As such, prevention of post-transplant relapse remains a key interest.

The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to determine if low doses of gentle chemotherapy after bone marrow transplant may prevent relapse and promote an increase in survival and decrease in side effects in participants with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. The main question it aims to answer is whether or not providing a new, gentler way of administering chemotherapy will help control leftover cancer with minimal side effects.

This treatment involves decitabine and venetoclax. Participants will receive standard post-transplant care. Participants will be administered decitabine once per week with normal transplant follow up visits, and then will take a venetoclax pill about 6 to 8 hours later. Participants will meet their study team at the beginning, midway, and at the end of the trial to receive bone marrow testing.
