About This Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study in Houston

This phase Ib trial is to find out the side effects and possible benefits of decitabine alone or given together with venetoclax, gilteritinib, enasidenib, or ivosidenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is under control (remission). Chemotherapy drugs, such as decitabine, 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. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called Bcl-2 needed for cell growth. Gilteritinib, enasidenib, and ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving decitabine alone or together with venetoclax, gilteritinib, enasidenib, or ivosidenib may help to control the disease.

Patients who have received lower intensity therapy (defined as receiving low-dose cytarabine \[LDAC\] or hypomethylating agent \[HMA\]-based therapy) to achieve remission should have received at least 2 cycles of lower intensity therapy between the time they have achieved CR/CRi and enrollment on this protocol. They will be designated as COHORT 2 (lower intensity induction cohort)
For either subgroup (lower or higher intensity), patients who have measurable residual disease may be enrolled on their respective cohort at any time without maximum 'time from consolidation' requirement
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of \< or = 3
Serum total bilirubin \< or = to 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
