About this study

Official title: Gilteritinib in Combination With Azacitidine and Venetoclax Compared to Induction Chemotherapy "7+3" in Combination With a FLT3-inhibitor in Fit, Newly Diagnosed, FLT3-ITD Mutated Adult AML Patients: a Randomized Trial of the EORTC Leukemia Group and GIMEMA.

This international, multicenter, randomized (1:1), open-label phase II/III trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gilteritinib combined with azacitidine and venetoclax (experimental arm) versus standard "7+3" induction plus a FLT3inhibitor (quizartinib or midostaurin) (control arm) in newly diagnosed FLT3-ITD mutated AML patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Newly diagnosed AML patients deemed fit by the investigator to receive intensive chemotherapy will be screened for FLT3-ITD mutation. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between experimental and control arms, stratified by age and WBC at diagnosis:

  • Participants assigned to the experimental arm will receive a triplet regimen consisting of VEN, AZA, and gilteritinib, administered for up to 12 cycles. This will be followed by up to 12 additional cycles of AZA in combination with gilteritinib, and subsequently up to 12 cycles of gilteritinib monotherapy
  • Participants in the control arm will be treated following the local standard of care, consisting of induction with '7+3', consolidation with high-dose cytarabine, and maintenance with a FLT3 inhibitor (midostaurin, quizartinib, or sorafenib) as per local practice.

Participants in the experimental arm with an available donor should proceed to HSCT based on the local investigator's judgement, but this should not occur prior to the end of cycle 2. For participants in the control group, HSCT is as per the local investigator's judgement, but recommended in first CR/CRi.

For patients with no available donor and not proceeding to HSCT, treatment in the experimental arm is recommended to continue for a minimum of 6 cycles before transitioning to maintenance treatment with AZA and gilteritinib.

Following HSCT, patients in the experimental arm will receive gilteritinib maintenance for up to 36 cycles and in the control arm, FLT3-inhibitor as per local standard of care (i.e., midostaurin, quizartinib or sorafenib).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Gilteritinib, Venetoclax and Azacitidine (AZA) in people with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia), run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 27 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact EORTC HQ (+32 2 774611, eortc@eortc.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase II: Achievement of CR/CRi documented within 6 months from randomization, occurring prior to allografting and before initiation of any post-protocol treatments. (time frame: Within 6 months from randomization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2026.
