Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see if people whose Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is being successfully treated with azacitidine or decitabine in combination with venetoclax can discontinue this chemotherapy for some period of time after a year of treatment without increasing the likelihood that their AML will return.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (non-M3) as defined by 2016 World HealthOrganization (WHO)

  • Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤ 2

  • Currently on frontline therapy with HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN and achievedComplete Remission (CR)/Complete Remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi)with MRD negativity defined as < 0.1% by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry (MFC)

  • Within 12 months of starting HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN

  • Ineligible for or declined allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consentdocument

  • Must agree to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

  • Patients must be able to provide adequate Bone Marrow (BM) aspirate and biopsyspecimens for histopathological and Measurable Residual Disease analysis during thescreening procedure

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, or experimental agents (agents that arenot commercially available) for the treatment of AML within 28 days, or 5half-lives, at the start of the study. Only patients who are receiving frontline HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN are potentially eligible, but if they had received acourse of hydroxyurea prior to achieving CR/CRi, this is allowed.

  • Any serious medical condition or uncontrolled current illness including, but notlimited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure,unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/socialsituations that would limit compliance with study requirements or will place thesubject at unacceptable risk if he/she participates in the study. Controlledinfections or other medical conditions on long-term therapy is allowed.

  • Patients who harbored TP53 mutation at diagnosis

  • AML with extramedullary involvement including central nervous system (CNS)involvement, myeloid sarcoma, and leukemia cutis requiring directed therapy at thetime of enrollment.

  • Patient is pregnant.
