AMLM22/D2: Targeted therapy alone, or with low-dose cytarabine for people with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in first complete remission.The International Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) Platform Consortium (IAPC) trial is a randomised, multi-arm study platform to compare the efficacy of experimental therapies versus standard of care in subjects with acute myeloid leukaemia in first complete remission. Domain 2 is investigating the safety and efficacy of Venetoclax as a maintenance therapy alone or in combination with low dose cytarabine (LDAC).

Clinical summary

Summary

This study is part of the International AML Platform Consortium, of which there are several domains.

This study is Domain 2 (D2) and is investigating whether venetoclax, used alone or in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC), is a safe and effective maintenance treatment for people with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).  

Who can take part?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 16 years and older, and have Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in first complete remission.

Study details
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned (by chance) to one of three treatment groups.

  • Standard care, which is usually observation only. 
  • Venetoclax alone, taken daily for up to two years.
  • Venetoclax plus low-dose cytarabine (LDAC).

As part of the study, participants will have blood tests at the start of each cycle (every 28 days). Depending on which treatment group they are assigned to, they may also have additional blood tests to monitor:

  • Neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection.
  • Platelets, which help the blood clot.

It is hoped that the results from this trial will be used to help these new treatments which may be better for people with AML than what is currently available become accessible to the general population at faster than the normal process.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with acute myeloid leukaemia in first complete remission after intensive chemotherapy
