AML according to WHO 2016 criteria and fulfilling all of the following criteria that defines those who are not candidates for intensive chemotherapy: ? =75 years of age or ? <75 years of age with of at least one of the following comorbidities: o Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 2 o Severe cardiac comorbidity defined as congestive heart failure or ejection fraction =50% o Severe pulmonary comorbidity defined as documented pulmonary disease with lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) =65% of expected, or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) =65% of expected or dyspnea at rest requiring oxygen o Moderate hepatic impairment defined according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) organ dysfunction classification criteria (total bilirubin =1.5 up to 3 times upper limit of normal [ULN]) o Creatinine clearance <45 mL/ min/1.73 m² (by MDRD formula) o Comorbidity that, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the patient unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy and must be documented and approved by the Sponsor before randomization, Criterion numbering modified per Amendment 1 3.1. De novo or secondary AML;, Criterion modified per Amendment 1 4.1. Previously untreated AML (except: emergency leukapheresis, hydroxyurea, and /or 1 dose of cytarabine [eg, 1-2g/m^2] during the screening phase to control hyperleukocytosis. Theses treatments mst be discontinued = 24 hours prior to start of study drug). Empiric all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treatment for presumed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is permited but APL mus be ruled out and ATRA mus be discontinued = 24 hours prior to the start of the study drug;, Criterion numbering modified per Amendment 1 5.1.

ECOG Performance Status score of 0, 1 or 2., Criterion numbering modified per Amendment 1 7.1. The following clinical laboratory values at screening: ? Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <3 times ULN; for participants with leukemic infiltration of the liver (documented by biopsy or imaging), AST and ALT <5 times ULN is permitted ? Total bilirubin = 3 times ULN unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin or in case of liver infiltration by AML (documented by biopsy or imaging) serum total bilirubin <5 times ULN ? Creatinine Clearance >30 mL/min (by MDRD formula), Criterion numbering modified per Amendment 1 8.1. A woman must be either: ?

A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly-sensitive serum (ß-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-hCG]) or urine pregnancy test at screening. A woman fo childbearing potential must agree to not donat

Exclusion Criteria

Criterion modified per Amendment 1 1.1. Acute promyelocytic leukemia, Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to cusatuzumab or azacitidine or its excipients (ie, mannitol, an excipient of azacitidine)., Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (eg, compromise the well-being) or physical limitations that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments., Criterion modified per Amendment 1 12.1. Major surgery, (eg, requiring general anesthesia) within 4 weeks prior to initiation of the study., Women who are breastfeeding., Received a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. NOTE: Investigators should ensure that all study enrollment (inclusion/exclusion) criteria have been met at screening and prior to the first dose of study intervention. If a participant's clinical status changes (including any available laboratory results or receipt of additional medical records) after screening but before the first dose of study intervention is given such that he or she no longer meets all eligibility criteria, then the participant should be excluded from participation in the study., Leukemic involvement or clinical symptoms of leukemic involvement of the central nervous system., Criterion modified per Amendment 1 3.1. Use of immune suppressive agents for the past 4 weeks before the first administration of cusatuzumab on Cycle 1 Day 3. For regular use of systemic corticosteroids, participants may only be included if free of systemic corticosteroids for a minimum of 5 days before the first administration of cusatuzumab. Treatment of adrenal insufficiency with physiologic replacement doses of corticosteroids are allowed., Prior treatment with a hypomethylating agent for treatment of AML or MDS, Criterion modified per Amendment 1 5.1. Active malignancies (ie, progressing or requiring treatment in the last 24 months) other than the disease being treated under study. The only allowed exceptions are: ? Non-melanoma skin cancer treated within the last 24 months that is considered completely cured ? Adequately treated breast lobular carcinoma in situ and breast ductal carcinoma in situ ? Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease ? History of localized breast cancer and receiving antihormonal agents, or history of localized prostate cancer (N0M0) and receiving androgen deprivation therapy ? Malignancy that is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence, Criterion modified per Amendment 1 6.1. Any active systemic infection, Criterion modified per Amendment 1 7.1. A history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive or tests positive for HIV at screening, Criterion modified per Amendment 1 8.1. Active hepatitis B or C infection or other clinically active liver disease Seropositive for hepatitis B: defined by a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]. Participants with resolved infection (ie, participants who are HBsAg negative with antibodies to total hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] with or without the presence of hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. Those who are RT-PCR positive will be excluded. Participants with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (antiHBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a kn
