Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare relapse-free survival between participants with FLT3/ITD AML in first morphologic complete remission (CR1) who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) and are randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo beginning after the time of engraftment for a two year period.

Participants with FLT3/ITD AML in first morphologic complete remission (CR1) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) will be randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo 30 to 90 days after HCT for a two year period. Participants will be stratified according to: 1) conditioning regimen intensity (myeloablative vs. reduced intensity/non-myeloablative), 2) time from first day of hematopoietic cell infusion to randomization (30-60 days vs. 61-90 days) and 3) presence vs absence of or unknown minimal residual disease (MRD) from the most recent pre-registration bone marrow (BM) aspirate.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Relapse-free survival [ Time Frame: 96 months ]Relapse-free survival (RFS) will be measured from time of randomization to either morphological relapse or death, whichever comes first. Morphological relapse will be defined as bone marrow (BM) blasts 5% or higher (not attributable to regenerating BM), any circulating blasts (not attributable to regenerating BM or growth factors), or any extra-medullary blast foci as per Revised International Working Group (R-IWG) criteria.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Safety and tolerability assessed by incidence and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: 25 months (24 months + 30 days) ]All grade ≥ 3 toxicities according to CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 4.03 will be tabulated for each treatment arm. The proportion of participants developing grade ≥ 3 AE across treatment arms will be compared. In addition, the incidence of all grade 1 to 4 toxicities according to CTCAE version 4.03 will be tabulated for each treatment arm and compared. Clinical laboratory evaluations and change from baseline will be described and compared. Electrocardiogram (ECG) results and change from baseline will be described and compared. Karnofsky Performance Status scores will be described and compared. The duration of drug use and dose of drug use will also be compared.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 66 months (5.5 years) ]Time to OS is defined as the time to death from any cause after randomization. For surviving participants, non-events will be censored at the last known alive date.
- Non-relapse Mortality [ Time Frame: 66 months (5.5 years) ]An event for this endpoint is death without evidence of disease progression or recurrence.
- Event-free Survival (EFS) at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The cumulative incidence at 12 months after randomization of EFS will be described and compared.
- Event-free Survival (EFS) at 24 months [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The cumulative incidence at 24 months after randomization of EFS will be described and compared.
- Cumulative Incidence of Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The cumulative incidence at 6 months after randomization of grades II-IV and grades III-IV acute GVHD will be described and compared. Acute GVHD will be graded according to diagnosis and severity scoring used by the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trial Network (BMT CTN).
- Cumulative Incidence of Chronic GVHD at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The cumulative incidence at 12 months after randomization of chronic GVHD will be described and compared. Chronic GVHD will be graded according to diagnosis and severity scoring from the NIH 2014 Consensus Criteria.
- Cumulative Incidence of Chronic GVHD at 24 months [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The cumulative incidence at 24 months after randomization of chronic GVHD will be described and compared. Chronic GVHD will be graded according to diagnosis and severity scoring from the NIH 2014 Consensus Criteria.
- The cumulative incidence of detection of FLT3/ITD MRD [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The cumulative incidence of detection of FLT3/ITD MRD in participants who are FLT3/ITD MRD undetectable prior to randomization will be described. Similarly, the pattern of eradication of FLT3/ITD MRD in participants who have detectable FLT3/ITD MRD prior to randomization will be described.
- Incidence of Severity of Infection [ Time Frame: 25 months (24 months + 30 days) ]The cumulative incidence of CTCAE grades 3 to 5 infection in participants will be described and compared.
