Summary

This trial tests vosaroxin + cytarabine to see how well it works in treating patients with untreated AML.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Participants must be able to tolerate intensive therapy, have an ECOG performance status of 0-2, and meet specific age and risk criteria. They should not have uncontrolled infections or diseases, certain heart conditions, CNS involvement of AML, or a history of other recent malignancies.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the effectiveness of vosaroxin combined with cytarabine in treating patients with AML. Vosaroxin and cytarabine are chemotherapy drugs that work by stopping cancer cells from growing and spreading.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, mouth sores, diarrhea and potential damage to organs such as the heart or liver.
