Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This trial will be run in two parts.
Depending on which Part of the trial is open for recruitment, patients eligible after screening will be registered to either
1. Part 1 - The dose finding Run-in phase or
2. Part 2 - The randomised phase 2 study

Patients will be put into groups according to cytogenetic risk. If cytogenetic results are not available or not informative, patients will be allocated to the adverse risk group.

Part 1 -The run-in phase will examine:

1. For non-adverse risk patients: Low dose Cytarabine (LDAC) + venetoclax + midostaurin
LDAC 20mg/m2 subcutaneously on Days 1-10
Venetoclax either 400mg (tablets) daily on days 1-28 or 600mg (tablets) daily on Days 1-28
Midostaurin 50mg (tablets) daily o days 11-28 or 50mg (tablets) twice a day on days 11-28.
The dose will depend on which group the patient is in and how well tolerated the different levels are.
2. For adverse risk patients: Low dose Cytarabine + venetoclax + pracinostat (This category includes patients with no cytogenetic analysis available at screening)
LDAC 20mg/m2 subcutaneously on Days 1-10
Venetoclax either 400mg (tablets) daily on days 1-28 or 600mg (tablets) daily on Days 1-28
Pracinostat 45mg (tablets) daily on days 10,12,14,17,19,21 or 45mg (tablets) daily on days 10,12,14,17,19,21,24,26,28


If initial triplet dose levels are deemed intolerable, other dose schedules will be explored. These will include shorter durations of exposure of either midostaurin or pracinostat.

In this manner, the run-in phase will determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Low dose Cytarabine + Venetoclax with midostaurin or pracinostat


In Part 2 - phase 2, eligible patients will be stratified based on their karyotype and randomised 2:1 to either:

Low dose Cytarabine + venetoclax + midostaurin (non-adverse karyotype) or
Low dose Cytarabine + venetoclax + pracinostat (adverse karyotype) versus
Low dose Cytarabine + venetoclax (comparator arm).

Drug schedules:

1. Low dose Cytarabine + venetoclax + midostaurin
a. LDAC 20mg/m2 subcutaneously daily D1-10 of each cycle.
b. Venetoclax (Tablets) RP2D (will be gradually increased each day Day1-3/4)
Depending on dose of Venetoclax the ramp up will be as follows.
For the venetoclax 400mg dose level:
• In cycle 1, venetoclax will be administered with a 3-day ramp up beginning with 100mg dose on Day 1, 200mg dose on Day 2, 400mg dose on Day 3. Venetoclax will continue at 400mg daily thereafter.
For the venetoclax 600mg dose level:
• In cycle 1, venetoclax will be administered with a 4-day ramp up beginning with 100mg on Day 1, 200mg on Day 2, 400mg on Day 3 and 600mg on Day 4. Venetoclax will continue at 600mg daily thereafter.


c. Midostaurin (Tablets) RP2D

2. LDAC + venetoclax + pracinostat (Tablets)
a. LDAC 20mg/m2 sc daily D1-10 of each cycle.
b. Venetoclax RP2D (r(will be gradually increased each day Day1-3/4)
Depending on dose of Venetoclax the ramp up will be as follows.
For the venetoclax 400mg dose level:
• In cycle 1, venetoclax will be administered with a 3-day ramp up beginning with 100mg dose on Day 1, 200mg dose on Day 2, 400mg dose on Day 3. Venetoclax will continue at 400mg daily thereafter.
For the venetoclax 600mg dose level:
• In cycle 1, venetoclax will be administered with a 4-day ramp up beginning with 100mg on Day 1, 200mg on Day 2, 400mg on Day 3 and 600mg on Day 4. Venetoclax will continue at 600mg daily thereafter.
c. Pracinostat RP2D

3. LDAC + venetoclax

- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for at least 4 months after stopping medication. Highly effective contraception methods include:

e. In case of use of oral contraception women should also add a barrier method of contraception, particularly as it is currently unknown whether midostaurin may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.
f. Sexually-active males unless they use a condom during intercourse with females of reproductive potential or pregnant women and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment to avoid conception or embryo-fetal harm.
