Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To improve the rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission (CR) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved a MRD positive CR after induction chemotherapy received in a myeloMATCH young adult basket tier-1 protocol.
II. To determine the rate of achieving MRD negative CR after 2 cycles of post-remission therapy with cytarabine vs. cytarabine + venetoclax or liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine (daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome) + venetoclax azacitidine + venetoclax in AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who were MRD positive post induction therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the disease-free survival, overall survival in this group of patients.
II. Assess the percentage of patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).
III. Compare toxicities of each experimental arm with the control arm.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate MRD kinetics by following patients with detectable MRD through tier 2 and beyond.
II. Evaluate longer term outcomes by treatment arm, genomics, MRD outcome, and other features as patients receive additional myeloMATCH therapies to generate testable hypotheses for more precise patient selection for these therapies aimed at improving outcomes.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 arms.
ARM A: Patients receive cytarabine intravenously (IV) on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy on study. Patients may also undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) and/or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) as clinically indicated.
ARM B: Patients receive cytarabine IV and venetoclax orally (PO) on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy on study. Patients may also undergo ECHO and/or MUGA as clinically indicated.
ARM C: Patients receive liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine IV and venetoclax PO on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy on study. Patients may also undergo ECHO and/or MUGA as clinically indicated.
ARM D: Patients receive azacitidine IV or subcutaneously (SC) and venetoclax PO on study. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy on study. Patients may also undergo ECHO and/or MUGA as clinically indicated.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patient must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
* Patient must have morphologically documented AML or secondary AML (from prior conditions such as myelodysplastic syndrome \[MDS\], myeloproliferative neoplasm \[MPN\]) or therapy related AML (t-AML), as defined by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
* Patient must have completed induction chemotherapy in a myeloMATCH young adult tier-1 protocol. Patient may have received prior hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Patient may have received prior azacitidine + venetoclax
* Patient must have been assigned to this protocol by myeloMATCH master screening and reassessment protocol (MSRP)/MATCHBOX. Patients thereby assigned will have attained complete remission (CR) or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) (defined as CR with \[absolute neutrophil count (ANC)\] \>= 500/mcL and/or platelets \> 50/mcL) with detectable MRD at time of assignment. MRD is defined as \> 0.1% flow cytometry on bone marrow (BM) biopsy as assessed by MDNet. The definition of CR or CRh may be made +/- 2 weeks from BM biopsy
* Patient must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Patients with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally authorized representative (LAR) or caregiver and/or family member available will also be considered eligible

Exclusion Criteria
* All patients of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 14 days prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy.

* Patients must not have FLT3 TKD or ITD mutation. Patients with this mutation, will be excluded from this study because myeloMATCH plans separate studies in tier-2 for those patients
* Patient must not be receiving any other investigational agents at the time of randomization
* Patient must not have history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cytarabine, azacitidine, venetoclax or daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome
