About this study

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help more patients with the IDH2 gene get rid of AML. ASTX727 is a fixed-dose formulation of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Enasidenib works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells that have the IDH2 mutation. Giving ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib may work better in treating AML patients with the IDH2 mutation.

You may qualify if…

✓ Participants must have been registered to the MYELOMATCH Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol prior to consenting to this study. Participants must have disease with a detectable IDH2 mutation based on central testing through the MYELOMATCH and be assigned to this clinical trial via MATCHBox prior to registration to this study
✓ Note: Pre-enrollment/diagnosis labs must have already been performed under MYELOMATCH
✓ Participants must have newly diagnosed, untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) defined by having ≥ 20% blasts in the bone marrow and/or peripheral blood, excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with PML-RARA
✓ Participants must not be receiving or planning to receive any other investigational agents while on protocol therapy
✓ Participants must not have received prior therapy for AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) with the exception of hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), colony-stimulating factors, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, immunosuppressive therapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, a single dose of cytarabine for cytoreduction, and/or leukapheresis
✓ Participants must not be currently receiving any cytarabine-containing therapy other than up to 1 g/m\^2 of cytarabine, which is allowed for urgent cytoreduction. The use of prior hydroxyurea, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), BCR-ABL directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, thrombopoietin receptor agonist and lenalidomide are allowed. Participants may receive hydroxyurea prior to treatment assignment on this substudy for cytoreduction but must agree to discontinue hydroxyurea prior to beginning treatment on this substudy
✓ White blood cell (WBC) must be \< 25 x 10\^9/L. Hydroxyurea, leukapheresis, and cytarabine \< 1 g/m\^2 are permitted to control the WBC prior to enrollment and initiation of protocol-defined therapy but must be stopped prior to initiation of protocol therapy
✓ Participants must be ≥ 60 years old; OR must be ≥ 18 years old and considered not eligible for cytarabine-based induction therapy
