Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial
Genomic Predictors of Decitabine Response in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Summary
This clinical trial studies potential genetic markers which might be used to predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes respond to decitabine. This study will contribute to the efforts to find effective and less toxic therapies to provide durable remissions in a significant proportion of elderly AML patients.
