About this study

This phase II MYELOMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of venetoclax to gemtuzumab ozogamicin, when given with cytarabine and daunorubicin ("7+3" regimen), for the treatment of patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called gemtuzumab, linked to an antitumor antibiotic drug, called ozogamicin. Gemtuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD33 receptors, and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax with cytarabine and daunorubicin may have fewer side effects and be as effective or better than the combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin in treating patients with core binding factor AML.

You may qualify if…

✓ GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Patients must be registered to the Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol, MYELOMATCH, and assigned to this protocol by the MATCHBox Treatment Verification Team
✓ GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Participants must not have received prior anti-cancer therapy for AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
✓ Note: Hydroxyurea to control the white blood cell count (WBC) and cytarabine up to 1g for urgent cytoreduction is allowed.
✓ Note: Prior erythroid stimulating agent (ESA) is not considered prior therapy for the purposes of eligibility
✓ GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Participants must not receive any cytarabine-containing therapy other than up to 1g of cytarabine, which is allowed for urgent cytoreduction. Hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), BCR-ABL directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, thrombopoietin receptor agonist and lenalidomide is allowed
✓ Diagnosis of AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22.1)/RUNX1::RUNX1T1 or AML with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22)/CBFB::MYH11. No FLT3 mutation (these patients should be considered for a FLT3-focused MYELOMATCH study)
✓ Secondary CBF-AML (e.g., prior pre-leukemic hematologic malignancy or history of chemotherapy/radiation therapy) is allowed.
✓ No prior AML or MDS-directed therapy except for urgent treatment of leukocytosis with leukapheresis, cytarabine, and hydroxyurea, Prior intrathecal chemotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) involvement of AML is permitted
