APAL2020D: Venetoclax in Children with Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

About this study

This study will test treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (relapsed). The study will test whether adding a new medicine called venetoclax to chemotherapy will improve survival for children with this disease.

Half of the patients in this study will get venetoclax along with typical chemotherapy. The other half will get typical chemotherapy alone. A computer, rather than your doctor, will choose which treatment you receive.

Eligibility overview

  • At least 29 days old and up to 21 years old
  • Have had AML come back for the first or second time
  • May have heart problems that prevent them from taking anthracyclines
