ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called Azacitidine, specifically a 300 mg film-coated tablet, to see how it compares to a similar product called Onureg® in treating adults with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). The trial is designed for patients who are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with AML, particularly those who have achieved a certain level of recovery after initial treatment but are not planning to undergo a stem cell transplant. Participants will need to be in good health overall and not have any known allergies to the medication.

If you decide to join the trial, you can expect to take the medication while fasting, meaning you won’t eat beforehand. The study will involve some tests to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. It’s important to note that participants will need to follow specific guidelines regarding diet and physical activity before and during the study. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, and if you think you might be eligible, you can talk to your healthcare provider about participating.
