| Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) | Drug: Placebo Drug: Venetoclax Drug: Cytarabine | Phase 3 |
Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial. More info ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive and rare cancer of myeloid cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). Successful treatment of AML is dependent on what subtype of AML the patient has, and the age of the patient when diagnosed.
Venetoclax is an experimental drug that kills cancer cells by blocking a protein (part of a cell) that allows cancer cells to stay alive. This study is designed to see if adding venetoclax to cytarabine works better than cytarabine on its own.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind (treatment unknown to patients and doctors), placebo-controlled, multicenter study in patients with AML who are 18 or more years old and have not been treated before. Patients who take part in this study should not be suitable for intensive induction chemotherapy (usual starting treatment). Abbvie is funding this study which will take place at approximately 125 hospitals globally. In this study, 2/3 of patients will receive venetoclax every day with cytarabine and the remaining 1/3 will receive placebo (dummy) tablets with cytarabine.
Participants will continue to have study visits and receive treatment for as long as they are having a clinical benefit. The effect of the treatment on AML will be checked by taking blood, bone marrow, scans, measuring side effects and by completing health questionnaires. Blood and bone marrow tests will be completed to see why some people respond better than others.

The composite complete remission rate is defined as the percentage of participants with complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) at any time during the study as assessed by the investigator.

- Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue Short Form (SF) 7a [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 3, 5, 7, and 9 ]PROMIS Fatigue SF 7a is a seven-item questionnaire that assesses the impact and experience of fatigue over the past 7 days. All questions employ the following five response options: 1 = Never, 2 = Rarely, 3 = Sometimes, 4 = Often, and 5 = Always. The PROMIS Fatigue 7a score is calculated as a T-score, which is a standardized score with a mean of 50 (based on the average for the United States general population) and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue. A decrease in score (negative change from Baseline) indicates improvement in fatigue; the minimum important difference used in this study was 3 points.
- Change From Baseline in Global Health Status / Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 3, 5, 7, and 9 ]
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core (EORTC QLQ-C30) consists of a Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) scale, a Financial Difficulties scale, 5 functional scales (Cognitive, Social, Physical, Emotional, and Role Functioning), and 8 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, Insomnia, Appetite Loss, Pain, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspnea, and Nausea and Vomiting).
The GHS/QoL scale includes 2 questions in which participants were asked to rate their overall health and overall quality of life during the past week on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). The 2 scores were averaged and transformed to a scale from 0 to 100, where a high score represents a high QoL. A positive change from baseline indicates better quality of life.
- Event-free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization until the primary analysis cut-off date of February 15, 2019; the median follow-up time was 12.0 months (range: 0.2-17.0) in the placebo arm and 12.0 months (range: 0.1-17.6) in the venetoclax arm. ]
Event-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the date of progressive disease (PD), confirmed morphologic relapse from CR or CRi, treatment failure (failure to achieve CR, CRi or morphologic leukemia free state (MLFS) after at least 6 cycles of study treatment), or death from any cause, assessed by the investigator according to the modified IWG criteria.
PD:
- > 50% increase in marrow blasts (minimum 15% increase required if blasts < 30% at baseline); or persistent marrow blast > 70% for ≥ 3 months; without at least a 100% improvement in ANC to an absolute level > 0.5 × 10⁹/L, and/or platelets to > 50 × 10⁹/L non-transfused; or
- 50% increase in peripheral blasts to > 25 × 10⁹/L; or
