ONUREG® is a prescription medicine used for continued treatment of adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who had a first complete remission (CR) following intensive induction chemotherapy with or without recovery of your blood cell counts, and who are not able to complete intensive curative therapy.
It is not known if ONUREG® is safe and effective in children under 18 years of age.
In preclinical studies, ONUREG® stopped AML cells from growing and increasing in number. In these studies, ONUREG® worked by incorporating itself into the DNA and RNA of cancer cells, and this may help reactivate certain genes and help kill the cancer cells.
ONUREG® was studied in 472 people with AML who achieved first remission (had no signs or symptoms of AML)
following intensive induction therapy with or without consolidation therapy, who were 55 years or older, and who
did not proceed to transplant.
Overall survival refers to how long people in a clinical trial stayed alive after beginning treatment. The median is the middle number. This means that half of people who took ONUREG® were alive 24.7 months after the beginning of treatment, which is over 2 years.
