What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 2 Dose Level determination

    To find the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of axatilimab when combined with decitabine and venetoclax by recording adverse events based on the CTCAE v.5.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Estimation of MRD-negative complete remission

    To estimate the MRD-negative complete remission rate after 1-2 cycles of induction chemotherapy with decitabine and venetoclax by conducing bone marrow biopsies and disease response assessments after induction

    Time frame: 2 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Estimation of Response Rates, Overall Survival

    To estimate the complete response rate by evaluating bone marrow biopsies that occur after induction and every 3 months during consolidation

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Evaluation of Safety of the Regimen

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of axatilimab when combined with decitabine and venetoclax by recording all adverse events according to the CTCAE v5.0

    Time frame: 1 year

  3. Estimation of Progression Free Survival

    To estimate the progression free survival rate by evaluating bone marrow biopsies that occur after induction and every 3 months during consolidation

    Time frame: 1 year

  4. Estimation of Overall Survival

    To estimate the overall survival rates by contacting patients 1 year after completion of therapy for survival data

    Time frame: 1 year
