Purpose

Ziftomenib is an investigational drug in development for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with certain genetic alterations. This protocol has 3 separate arms that will investigate the benefits and risks of adding ziftomenib to standard-of-care (SOC) drug treatments in patients who have AML with certain genetic mutations. Both newly diagnosed and relapsed refractory patients with AML will be assigned to different cohorts based on specific study criteria and physician discretion. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and early signs of efficacy of ziftomenib in combination with SOC drugs to treat AML.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have a documented NPM1 mutation or KMT2A rearrangement and have either newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory AML - Those intending treatment with intensive chemotherapy in Arm C should be NPM1-m and FLT3-ITD+ with an allelic ratio ≥0.05 and eligible for FLT3-targeted treatment - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2 - Adequate liver, renal, and cardiac function according to protocol defined criteria - A female of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception as well as a double barrier method from the time of screening through 180 days following the last dose of study intervention. A male of childbearing potential must agree to use abstinence or use a double barrier method of contraception from the time of screening through 180 days following the last dose of study intervention - Female patients of childbearing potential who receive quizartinib in Arm C should use a highly effective method of contraception during quizartinib treatment and for 7 months after the last dose

Exclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of either acute promyelocytic leukemia or blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia - Known history of BCR-ABL alteration - Advanced malignant hepatic tumor - Administration of live attenuated vaccines within 14 days prior to, during, or after treatment until B-cell recovery - Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by AML. - Clinical signs/symptoms of leukostasis or WBC > 25,000 / microliter.
