Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Age >= 18 years
Diagnosis of untreated AML other than acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematolymphoid tumors. Patients with myelodysplastic, myeloproliferative, or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms and ≥10% blasts in blood and/or bone marrow, are also eligible, as are patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). Outside diagnostic material is acceptable to establish diagnosis; submission of peripheral blood specimen for flow cytometry performed at the study institution should be considered. Diagnostic material must have been submitted for cytogenetic and/or molecular testing as clinically appropriate

Study Summary

This trial tests a combination of chemo drugs & antibody-linked drug to treat AML & other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. G-CSF helps bone marrow make more white blood cells. This may kill more cancer cells than chemo alone.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or related conditions, who haven't been treated yet. They must have normal heart function and kidney clearance, no severe infections, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with certain other leukemias, FLT3-mutated AML, life-threatening illnesses, known drug allergies, or pregnant/breastfeeding women.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the best dose of Pivekimab Sunirine combined with a chemotherapy regimen called FLAG-Ida for treating newly diagnosed adverse risk AML. It aims to see if this combination therapy is more effective than chemotherapy alone in killing cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions to the monoclonal antibody Pivekimab Sunirine such as infusion-related reactions and allergic responses. Chemotherapy can cause fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts increasing infection risk, hair loss and damage to organs like the heart.
