Hypomethylating Agent Discontinuation for Negative MRD in AML Patients
This study aims to evaluate if stopping hypomethylating agents after achieving measurable residual disease negativity can maintain complete response in adults with acute myeloid leukemia.

Summary
Study start date: November 7, 2024
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study investigates whether patients with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), who have been successfully treated and have no measurable signs of leukemia left, can safely stop taking their medication after a year without increasing the risk of the disease returning. The medications involved are azacitidine or decitabine, used in combination with venetoclax. This research is important as it aims to find out if patients can take a break from chemotherapy, which can reduce side effects and improve quality of life while still effectively managing the disease. Participants in this study continue their regular treatment for a year and then stop taking the medication to see how their bodies respond. The study closely monitors their health to ensure the leukemia does not return. This is done by regular check-ups and tests that look for any signs of the disease coming back. The study evaluates whether discontinuing the treatment is safe and does not compromise the effectiveness of the initial treatment.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults 18 years of age or older at the time of obtaining informed consent. * Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (non-M3) as defined by 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) * Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤ 2 * Currently on frontline therapy with HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN and achieved Complete Remission (CR)/Complete Remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi) with MRD negativity defined as \< 0.1% by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry (MFC) * Within 12 months of starting HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN * Ineligible for or declined allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * Must agree to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements * Patients must be able to provide adequate Bone Marrow (BM) aspirate and biopsy specimens for histopathological and Measurable Residual Disease analysis during the screening procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Use of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, or experimental agents (agents that are not commercially available) for the treatment of AML within 28 days, or 5 half-lives, at the start of the study. Only patients who are receiving frontline HMA (azacitidine or decitabine)/VEN are potentially eligible, but if they had received a course of hydroxyurea prior to achieving CR/CRi, this is allowed. * Any serious medical condition or uncontrolled current illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or will place the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she participates in the study. Controlled infections or other medical conditions on long-term therapy is allowed. * Patients who harbored TP53 mutation at diagnosis * AML with extramedullary involvement including central nervous system (CNS) involvement, myeloid sarcoma, and leukemia cutis requiring directed therapy at the time of enrollment. * Patient is pregnant.
