Clinical summary
Summary
This study is part of the International AML Platform Consortium. Participants in this study will be randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups.
Participants in one group will receive standard care, which is generally observation. Participants in the other groups will receive the oral drug venetoclax daily for a total of 24 months, or venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) for a total of 24 months. Cytarabine will be given subcutaneously (under the skin) on days 1-10 of each cycle.
As part of this study, participants will have blood tests at the start of each cycle (every 28 days) as well as additional blood tests depending on the treatment arm you have been randomised to. These additional blood tests are to monitor the level of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell that is important in fighting infection) and platelets (platelets help your 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 faster than the normal process.
This study is linked to another (AMLM22/D1: ACTRN12619000248167p) as both are sub-studies of the main platform study.

Scientific Title
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).
