Clinical trials

This research study investigates the tolerability of substituting two cycles of chemotherapy into the standard pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) chemotherapy treatment regimen for patients with newly diagnosed AML at intermediate-risk (IR) and high-risk (HR) of relapse. The goal is to achieve similar or better survival with chemotherapy cycles that are intensive but less likely to cause long-term complications. Patients will enroll on this trial at the end of their first induction cycle. The two cycles to be substituted are: * "Ida-FLA" (idarubicin+fludarabine/cytarabine) as Induction 2 * "VIA" (venetoclax+idarubicin+cytarabine) as Intensification 1 of the HR treatment regimen, and Intensification 2 of the IR treatment backbone. Researchers will evaluate side effects and outcomes for up to three years after enrollment. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in optional research studies including patient surveys and blood and bone marrow sample testing.
