Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

300 patients will be randomly distributed into the control group (n=150) and the experimental group(n=150). Patients will receive two cycles of induction chemotherapy. The control group receives standard 3+7 induction regimen containing cytarabine (100mg/m2 d1-7) and daunorubicin (60mg/m2 d1-3). The experimental group receives venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy (3+7 induction regimen same as the control group). For each group, patients who fail to achieve CR/CRi after two courses of induction therapy may receive alternative therapy decided by their physicians. After CR/CRi achieved, subjects proceed allo-transplantation or consolidation therapy according to their ELN risks: subjects in favorable risk group should continue with chemotherapy; subjects in poor risk group should go through transplantation; for subjects in intermediate risk group, those with suitable donors can receive transplantation while others can continue with consolidation therapy. Subjects receive 3 courses of intermediate-dose cytarabine (1.5g/m2 q12h d1, 3, 5) for age>55 years or high dose cytarabine (3g/m2 q12h d1, 3, 5) for age≤ 55 years as consolidation therapy with venetoclax in experimental group and without venetoclax in control group. After consolidation, patients will be observed.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy

The experimental group receives two cycles of inducation chemotherapy consisting of venetoclax combined with standard DA 3+7 regimen. After CR/CRi achieved, subjects proceed allo-transplantation or consolidation therapy according to their ELN risks. The consolidation chemotherapy regimen consists of three cycles of intermediate (for age>55 years)or high(for age≤ 55 years) dose cytarabine combined with venetoclax.

Drug: with or without venetoclax
Bcl-2 inhibitor

Active Comparator: Intensive chemotherapy only

The control group receives two cycles of inducation chemotherapy consisting of standard DA 3+7 regimen without venetoclax. After CR/CRi achieved, subjects proceed allo-transplantation or consolidation therapy according to their ELN risks. The consolidation chemotherapy regimen consists of three cycles of intermediate (for age>55 years)or high(for age≤ 55 years) dose cytarabine without venetoclax.

Drug: with or without venetoclax
Bcl-2 inhibitor

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Event-free survival [up to 12 months]

    The time from randomization to treatment failure, death from any cause or relapse after achieving CR or CRi, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall survival Overall survival [up to 36 months]

    The time from randomization to death resulting from any cause

  2. CR rate [up to 2 months]

    The proportion of patients achieving CR after two cycles of induction chemotherapy.

  3. Rates of remission (CR/CRi) without measurable residual disease (CRMRD-) [up to 2 months]

    The proportion of AML patients achieving CR/CRi with negativity for a genetic marker by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and/or with negativity by multi-color flow cytometry.

  4. Relapse free survival [up to 36 months]

    From the date of complete remission(CR) until the date of documented relapse or death due to any cause or the last follow-up day.

  5. Cumulative incidence of relapse [up to 36 months]

    Calculated from tdate of first CR to the date of relapse, considering nonrelapse mortality (NRM) as a competing event

  6. Frequency and severity of AEs [up to 8 months]

    Adverse clinical events in the course of drug treatment according to CTCAE v5.0.
