Comparing Cytarabine + Daunorubicin Therapy Versus Cytarabine + Daunorubicin + Venetoclax Versus Venetoclax + Azacitidine in Younger Patients With Intermediate Risk AML (A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial)
What this study is about
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares cytarabine with daunorubicin versus cytarabine with daunorubicin and venetoclax versus venetoclax with azacitidine for the treatment of younger patients with intermediate risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
View original scientific description
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares cytarabine with daunorubicin versus cytarabine with daunorubicin and venetoclax versus venetoclax with azacitidine for the treatment of younger patients with intermediate risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cytarabine is a drug that inhibits some of the enzymes needed for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and repair and can slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.
Interventions
DRUG
Azacitidine
Given IV or SC
PROCEDURE
Biospecimen Collection
Undergo collection of blood samples
PROCEDURE
Bone Marrow Aspiration
Undergo bone marrow aspiration
DRUG
Cytarabine
Given IV
DRUG
Daunorubicin Hydrochloride
Given IV
DRUG
Venetoclax
Given PO
Primary outcome measures
Measurable residual disease (MRD) undetectable complete remission (CR)
Time frame: Up to 2 cycles (56 days)
Will assess after one induction cycle with or without the addition of venetoclax or two cycles of venetoclax and azacitidine. MRD by flow cytometry will be considered undetectable if ≤ 10\^-3. The MRD negative CR will be assessed using European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 criteria \[Döhner 2017\]. The analysis population for the primary outcome will be all randomized patients with the intent to treat population. The MRD undetectable CR rate will be the number of patients with MRD undetectable CR divided by the total number of patients. The differences of MRD undetectable CR rates between the experimental groups and the control group will be estimated and the corresponding one-sided 80% confidence limit will be calculated using Normal distribution approximation. MRD non-evaluable patients will be considered as MRD positive.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient must have enrolled onto MYELOMATCH and must have been given a treatment assignment to MyeloMATCH to MM1YA-CTG01 based on the presence of an actionable mutation as defined in MYELOMATCH
- Participants must have been registered to master screening and re-assessment protocol (myeloMATCH MSRP) prior to consenting to this study. Participants must have been assigned to this clinical trial, via MATCHBox, prior to registration to this study. Participants must have agreed to have specimens submitted for translational medicine (MRD) and must be offered the opportunity to submit biosamples for banking for future research as per the myeloMATCH MSRP
- Note: Pre-enrollment/diagnosis labs must have already been performed under the MSRP
- Previously untreated, de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) defined by \> 20% myeloblasts in the peripheral blood or bone marrow (refer to the 2016 updated World Health Organization \[WHO\] classification of myeloid neoplasms and acut

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
