The ASCERTAIN-V phase I/II clinical trial, which evaluated the first all-oral regimen of decitabine-cedazuridine plus venetoclax in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for intensive induction chemotherapy, demonstrated favorable response rates and survival with expected myelosuppressive effects.
In modern oncology, important insights from clinical trials often emerge years after initial publication. As new therapies extend survival and transition more patients into long-term remissions, clinicians and researchers are increasingly looking beyond initial response rates to understand durability, long-term safety, and even the possibility of a cure.
