MyeloMATCH MM1OA-EA02 (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to compare the usual treatment of azacitidine and venetoclax to the combination treatment of azacitidine, venetoclax and gilteritinib. We want to find out if adding gilteritinib to the usual treatment is beneficial for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults ages 60+ who:
- Are diagnosed with AML
- Have not received previous treatment for AML with some exceptions (exceptions = hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid, leukapheresis, and cytarabine-based emergency therapy)
- Have an FLT3-ITD or D835 mutation
Patients who are younger than 60 years old can be considered if their treating physician believes that an azanucleoside-based therapy rather than intensive, cytarabine-based treatment is more likely to be favorable for them.

What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like drawing straws) to 1 of 3 groups:
- Group One: If you are in this group, you will get the drugs azacitidine and venetoclax. You will receive azacitidine by injection into a vein in your arm or subcutaneously (under the skin). You will get venetoclax as tablets that you take by mouth. You will take these drugs for defined time periods called "cycles" and be assessed at the end of each cycle. Each cycle lasts 28 days. There will be a maximum of 24 cycles.
- Group Two: If you are in this group, you will get the drugs azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib. You will receive azacitidine by injection into a vein in your arm or subcutaneously (under the skin). You will get venetoclax and gilteritinib as tablets that you take by mouth. Each cycle lasts 28 days. There will be a maximum of 24 cycles.
- Group Three: If you are in this group, you will get the drugs azacitidine, venetoclax, and gilteritinib. You will receive azacitidine by injection into a vein in your arm or subcutaneously (under the skin). You will get venetoclax and gilteritinib as tablets that you take by mouth. Each cycle lasts 28 days. There will be a maximum of 24 cycles.
