A Collaboration Phase 2 Study of Venetoclax in Combination With Conventional Chemotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Description
This is a phase 2 study to test the hypothesis that venetoclax in combination with standard chemotherapy will be tolerable and active in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Primary Objectives: * Establish the tolerability adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy in pediatric patients with AML * Estimate the proportion of patients who become minimal residual disease (MRD) negative by flow cytometry after one course of venetoclax-based induction therapy Secondary Objectives: - Estimate the rates of complete remission (CR), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) in pediatric patients who receive venetoclax-based chemotherapyTreatment will be based on genetic characteristics and response to therapy. Venetoclax will be given with each course of therapy. Low-risk patients will receive four courses of chemotherapy and intermediate-risk patients will receive five courses. High-risk patients who do not have a suitable stem cell donor or who
