Testing the Addition of Venetoclax or Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) to Usual Treatment Regimen (Cytarabine and Daunorubicin, "7+3") for Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia (CBF-AML) to Improve Response (A MYELOMATCH Treatment Trial)

Plain-language summary
This phase II MYELOMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of venetoclax to gemtuzumab ozogamicin, when given with cytarabine and daunorubicin ("7+3" regimen), for the treatment of patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called gemtuzumab, linked to an antitumor antibiotic drug, called ozogamicin. Gemtuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD33 receptors, and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin 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. Giving venetoclax with cytarabine and daunorubicin may have fewer side effects and be as effective or better than the combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin in treating patients with core binding factor AML.

Inclusion Criteria:
* GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Patients must be registered to the Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol, MYELOMATCH, and assigned to this protocol by the MATCHBox Treatment Verification Team
* GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Participants must not have received prior anti-cancer therapy for AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
* Note: Hydroxyurea to control the white blood cell count (WBC) and cytarabine up to 1g for urgent cytoreduction is allowed.
* Note: Prior erythroid stimulating agent (ESA) is not considered prior therapy for the purposes of eligibility
* GENERAL MYELOMATCH CRITERIA: Participants must not receive any cytarabine-containing therapy other than up to 1g of cytarabine, which is allowed for urgent cytoreduction. Hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), BCR-ABL directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, thrombopoietin receptor agonist and lenalidomide is allowed

* Secondary CBF-AML (e.g., prior pre-leukemic hematologic malignancy or history of chemotherapy/radiation therapy) is allowed.
* No prior AML or MDS-directed therapy except for urgent treatment of leukocytosis with leukapheresis, cytarabine, and hydroxyurea, Prior intrathecal chemotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) involvement …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
