The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine to improve Relapse Free Survival (RFS) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) participants 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 efficacy and safety of venetoclax with azacitidine (Part 2 Arm A) will be compared with BSC (Part 2 Arm B).

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Part 1: Venetoclax + Azacitidine (AZA) + Best Supportive Care
Participants will be administered various doses and dose regiments of venetoclax and AZA. Venetoclax will be administered once daily (QD) (Days 1-28) for up to 24 cycles, AZA QD on Days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles and best supportive care (BSC) for 24 cycles (each cycle = 28 days)
|
Drug: Venetoclax
Tablet; Oral
Other Names:
Drug: Azacitidine Subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) injection Other: Best Supportive Care (BSC) BSC is the best supportive care, without AML directed therapy, determined per the investigator and institutional guidelines. |
Experimental: Part 2: Arm A - Venetoclax + Azacitidine (AZA) + BSC
Participants will be administered with venetoclax and AZA at a dose level determined in Part 1 in addition to best supportive care (when required). Venetoclax will be administered once daily (QD) (Days 1-28) for up to 24 cycles, AZA QD on Days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles and best supportive care (BSC) for 24 cycles (each cycle = 28 days).

Experimental: Part 2: Arm B - Best Supportive Care (BSC)
Participants will receive treatment as prescribed by their physician according to the BSC for up to 24 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days)

Other: Best Supportive Care (BSC)
BSC is the best supportive care, without AML directed therapy, determined per the investigator and institutional guidelines. |
- Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Following Administration of Venetoclax and Azacitidine (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Upto the first treatment cycle (28 days) ]DLTs are any of the hematologic, nonhematologic toxicities, adverse events (AEs) occurring following administration of venetoclax and AZA as described in the protocol and evaluated by the Investigator and the sponsor.
- Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]RFS is defined as the number of days from randomization to the date of relapse or the date of death from any cause, whichever comes first.
- Overall Survival (OS) (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 45 months after the first participant is randomized ]OS is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.
- Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD)-free, Relapse Free Survival (GRFS) (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]GRFS is defined as number of days from the date of randomization to occurrence of disease relapse OR occurrence or worsening of GvHD OR death from any cause.
- Time to Deterioration in Global Health Status (GHS)/Quality of Life (QoL) in Adult Participants (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]Time to deterioration defined as number of days from randomization to either deterioration of >= 5 points based on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) version 3 or death due to any cause.
- Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) rate (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]GvHD rate is defined as grade 2 or higher for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) and moderate/severe for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) assessed by investigator
- Change From Randomization in Fatigue in Adult Participants (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]Fatigue is measured as Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) using Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cancer Fatigue SF 7a.
- Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Response Rate in Participants With MRD >= 10^-3 at Randomization (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]MRD conversion rate is defined as percentage of participants who convert to MRD < 10^-3 after initiation of treatment.
- Change in Patient Reported Signs, Symptoms and Impact of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as Measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item patient-reported questionnaire composed of both multi-item and single scales including 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, social, and cognitive), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), a global health status/QoL scale, and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Participantts rate items on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 to 4 (1 = Not at All, 2 = A Little, 3 = Quite a Bit, and 4 = Very Much)."
- Change in Patient Reported Signs, Symptoms and Impact of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as Measured by the European Quality-of-Life-5 Dimensional-5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Up to 39 months after the first participant is randomized ]The EQ-5D-5L is a generic preference instrument that has been validated in numerous population and has 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. These dimensions are measured on a 5-point scale: with higher scores representing better functioning/quality of life and greater symptom burden.
