Summary
This trial is testing a new drug, pemigatinib, to see if it can help treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow (the soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are made). Pemigatinib works by inhibiting (blocking) a protein called FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor). This protein is involved in the growth of leukemia cells.
Who is the study for?
Adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific genetic changes linked to a poor prognosis can join this trial. They must be able to consent, perform daily activities with minimal help (ECOG 0-2), and have adequate organ function. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with favorable risk AML, recent cancer therapy except hydroxyurea, prior FGFR inhibitor use, certain infections or diseases affecting mineral balance are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of pemigatinib following standard chemotherapy in treating AML. Pemigatinib targets FGFR activity which may drive leukemia growth. Participants will first receive cytarabine and daunorubicin chemotherapy before starting on pemigatinib at a dose determined safe and potentially beneficial.
What are the potential side effects?
Pemigatinib may cause side effects such as dry eyes or vision problems due to corneal disorders, abnormal blood tests reflecting liver issues, electrolyte imbalances leading to muscle cramps or weakness, and potential interactions that could affect heart rhythm seen on an ECG.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (cytarabine, daunorubicin, pemigatinib)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
INDUCTION: Patients receive cytarabine IV on days 1-7, daunorubicin IV on days 1-3, and pemigatinib PO QD on days 8-21 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with hematologic count recovery (assessed between days 25-42) after induction proceed to consolidation therapy. Patients undergo ECHO during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients undergo blood sample collection and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy during screening and cycle 11 day 21 on study.
CONSOLIDATION: Patients receive high dose cytarabine IV BID on days 1, 3, and 5, and pemigatinib PO QD on days 8-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression of unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO as clinically indicated and blood sample collection and bone marrow biopsy and aspirate at the end of consolidation.
