A Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax in Combination With Azacitidine Versus Standard of Care After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT) in Participants With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Overview

About this study

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine to improve Relapse Free Survival (RFS) in AML patients compared to Best Supportive Care (BSC) when given as maintenance therapy following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). This study will have 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Confirmation), which may include participants who are greater than or equal to 18 years old; Part 2 (Randomization) which may include participants who are greater than or equal to 12 years old. During Part 1, recommended Phase 3 dose of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine will be determined and during Part 2, the effectiveness and safety of venetoclax with azacitidine (Part 2 Arm A) will be compared with BSC (Part 2 Arm B).

**Please note that at Mayo Clinic, this study will only be enrolling in Part 2 of the trial and will not be enrolling adolescents. We will be enrolling adult subjects only.
