入选标准
- •Patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) according to the International Consensus Classification (ICC)
- •Female patient must either: o Be of nonchildbearing potential: • Postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses) • Documented surgically sterile (e.g. documented hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or congenital sterile) or status posthysterectomy (at least 1 month prior to screening) o Or, if of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile and not postmenopausal) • Not planning to become pregnant during the study and for 27 weeks after the final study drug administration • And have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at screening • And, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently apply one highly effective* method of birth control in combination to a barrier method for the duration of the study and for 27 weeks after the final study drug administration. *Highly effective forms of birth control include Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, for at least 1 month prior to taking study drug. (Hormonal contraception is only a highly effective method of birth control, if a combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception or a progestogen-only hormonal contraception – both associated with inhibition of ovulation - is used.) Established intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), Bilateral tubal occlusion, Vasectomy - a vasectomy is a highly effective contraception method provided the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be used. Male is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy. Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual activity during the entire period of risk associated with the study drug. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. *List is not all inclusive. Prior to enrolment, the investigator is responsible for confirming patient will utilize highly effective forms of birth control in combination with a barrier method according to locally accepted standards during the protocol defined period. • Female patient must agree not to breastfeed starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 2 months and 1 week after the final study drug administration. • Female patient must not donate ova starting at screening and throughout the study period, and for 27 weeks after the final study drug administration.
- •Men must use a latex condom during any sexual contact with WOCBP, even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy and must agree to avoid to father a child (while on therapy and for 27 weeks after the final study drug administration). In addition, their female partners of childbearing potential have to use a highly effective method of birth control.

- •Patients with a currently active second malignancy. Patients are not considered to have a currently active malignancy, if they have completed therapy and are considered by their physician to be at <30% risk of relapse within one year. However, patients with the following history/concurrent conditions are allowed: o Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; o Carcinoma in situ of the cervix; o Carcinoma in situ of the breast; o Incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer.

Treatment failure is defined as not attaining CR or CRi by induction chemotherapy, and EFS event time for treatment failure is date of randomization.
次要结局
- Overall survival (OS) in newly diagnosed AML patients, defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Patients still alive or lost to follow up will be censored at the time they were last known to be alive.
- Rate of complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) rate in newly diagnosed AML patients defined as the proportion of AML patients with CR/CRi by the end of induction chemotherapy.
- Complete remission (CR) rates in newly diagnosed AML patients defined as the proportion of AML patients with CR by the end of induction chemotherapy.
- Rates of CR CR/CRh, and CR/CRi without measurable residual disease (CRMRD-, CR/CRhMRD-, CR/CRiMRD-) by the end of induction therapy, defined as the proportion of AML patients achieving CR, CR/CRh and CR/CRi with negativity for a genetic marker by RT-qPCR, and/or with negativity by multi-parameter flow cytometry, if studied pre-treatment.
- Relapse-free survival (RFS) in newly diagnosed AML patients, defined as the time from achievement of a remission (CR/CRh/CRi) following induction therapy, to morphologic relapse, start of new (non-study) therapy due to confirmed molecular progression or relapse or death from any cause. Patients who are not known to have relapsed, died or started new therapy due to confirmed molecular progression or relapse will be censored at the date of last clinical response assessment.
- Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in newly diagnosed AML patients, measured from the date of achievement of a remission (CR/CRh/CRi) to date of relapse, or date of start of new (non-study) therapy due to confirmed molecular progression or relapse. Death in remission will be considered as a competing event. Patients who are not known to have relapsed, died or started new therapy due to molecular progression or relapse will be censored at the date of last clinical response assessment.
- Cumulative incidence of death (CID) in newly diagnosed AML patients, measured from the date of achievement of a remission (CR/CRh/CRi) to death without prior relapse (may it be morphologic relapse or confirmed molecular progression or relapse with subsequent start of new non-study therapy). Relapse after achieving CR/CRh/CRi or start of new therapy due to confirmed molecular progression or relapse will be considered as a competing event.
- Quality of life among AML patients as assessed by o EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) among AML patients o EORTC-QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL scale and QLQ-C30 subdomains and o PROMIS Cancer Fatigue short form, version 7a.
- Event-free survival in newly diagnosed AML patients, defined as the time from randomization to treatment failure, death from any cause, relapse after achieving CR, CRh or CRi, or start of new (non-study) therapy due to confirmed molecular progression or relapse whichever occurs first. Treatment failure is defined as not attaining CR, CRh or CRi by induction chemotherapy, i.e. if a patient’s best response during or at completion of the induction treatment is less than CR/CRh/CRi.
- Rate of complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) in newly diagnosed AML patients defined as the proportion of AML patients with CR/CRh by the end of induction chemotherapy.
