Treatment options for older adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are limited. Drugs called epigenetic therapies offer new treatment options for patients with AML. The most widely used epigenetic therapy in AML is azacitidine. Trials have demonstrated higher responses when azacitidine is combined with a drug called a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi). Romidepsin is a new HDACi which has shown a benefit in patients with lymphoma, but it has not been tested in AML. This is the first study combining romidepsin and azacitidine in AML, aiming to determine the best combined dose of the drugs to give to patients.
