Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III clinical trial aimed at comparing the efficacy of two induction chemotherapy regimens-VA (Venetoclax + Azacitidine) and D/IA (Daunorubicin/Idarubicin + Cytarabine)-in elderly patients (aged 55-75) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are fit for intensive chemotherapy.
