Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: ? Subject has received treatment with the following: - A hypomethylating agent, venetoclax and/or chemo therapeutic agent for Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). - CAR-T cell therapy - Experimental therapies for MDS or AML. -Current participation in another research or observational study. ? Subject has history of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). ? Subject has the following: - Favorable risk cytogenetics such as t(8;21), inv(16) or t(16;16) or t(15;;17) as per the NCCN Guidelines Version 2, 2016 for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. ? Subject has acute promyelocytic leukemia ? Subject has known active CNS involvement with AML. ? Subject has known HIV infection (due to potential drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral medications and venetoclax) HIV testing will be performed at Screening, only if required per local guidelines or institutional standards. ? Subject is known to be positive for hepatitis B or C infection [HCV Ab indicative of a previous or current infection; and/or positive HBs Ag or detected sensitivity on HBV-DNA PCR test for HBc Ab and/or HBs Ab positivity] with the exception of those with an undetectable viral load within 3 months of screening. (Hepatitis B or C testing is not required). Subjects with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV [i.e., HBs Ag-, and anti-HBs+] may participate. ? Subject has received strong and/or moderate CYP3A inducers within 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatment. -Chinese AML subjects participating in the safety cohort per Appendix K are also excluded from receiving strong and/or moderate CYP3A inhibitors from 7 days prior to the initiation of study treatment through the entire dose limiting toxicity (DLT)/safety evaluation period. ?

Subject has a white blood cell count > 25 × 109/L. (Hydroxyurea or leukapheresis are permitted to meet this criterion.)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate if venetoclax in combination with azacitidine will improve overall survival (OS) and composite complete remission rate (complete remission + complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery; CR/CRi) versus placebo in combination with azacitidine, in treatment naïve subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate if venetoclax in combination with azacitidine will improve the rate of CR. •To evaluate if venetoclax in combination with azacitidine will improve the rate of CR and complete remission with partial hematologic recovery rate (CRh). •To evaluate if venetoclax in combination with azacitidine: -will improve the proportion of subjects achieving composite complete remission (CR or CRi) by initiation of Cycle 2. -will improve the transfusion independence rate. -will improve the MRD response rate -will improve the response rates and overall survival in molecular subgroups. -reduces fatigue and improves global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL) based on patient reported outcome (PRO) assessments (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS], Cancer Fatigue Short Form [SF] 7a and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core [EORTC QLQ-C30]). -will improve, event-free survival (EFS).;Primary end point(s): 1. Rate of complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi) 2. Overall Survival (OS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Every 2 months for 1 year after the last subject has been enrolled into the study 2. Measured up to 2 years after the last participant is randomized

Measured at participant's Day 1 of Cycle 1 and at Day 1 of every Cycle thereafter for up to 2 years following the last subject last visit 4. Measured up to 2 years after the last participant is randomized 5. 6 months after the last participant is randomized 6. Measured up to 2 years after the last participant is randomized 7. Measured up to 2 years after the last participant is randomized 8. Measured up to 2 years after the last participant is randomized
