Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome

Efficacy after one course of study treatment, defined as the rate of composite complete remission (CRc) plus morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS)

Secondary Outcome

- Complete remission rate and composite complete remission (CRc) rate based on best treatment response - Overall survival (OS) rate at 3 years - Disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 3 years (both with and without censoring at allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) - Pre-transplant complete remission rate, CRc rate, and MRD negativity rate - Proportion of patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation - Cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality and relapse among transplant recipients - Incidence of adverse events

Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Age minimum	>= 16age old
Age maximum	< 65age old
Gender	Both
Include criteria	(1) Patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) according to the WHO classification (2016), aged 16 years or older and under 65 years at the time of consent. (2) Patients who failed to achieve complete remission (defined as >=5% blasts in bone marrow) after one course of standard induction therapy, which includes: Standard adult AML induction therapy combining an anthracycline and cytarabine (e.g., per JALSG AML201 protocol), CPX-351, or Standard pediatric AML induction therapy based on the JCCG AML protocol (including intrathecal therapy). (3) Patients expected to be eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after re-induction therapy in this study. (4) Patients with an ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2. (5) Patients with adequate liver, renal, pulmonary, and cardiac function, defined as: a. Total serum bilirubin <=2.0 mg/dL b. Serum creatinine <= 2.0 mg/dL c. PaO2 >= 60 Torr or SpO2 >= 90% on room air before treatment d. No significant cardiac dysfunction, defined as the need for a cardiac pacemaker, uncontrolled ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias despite medication, or a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% on echocardiography. (6) Written informed consent has been obtained from the patient. For patients under 18 years of age, consent must also be obtained from a legally authorized representative. (7) In the case of male or female patients of childbearing potential, those who agree to use contraception during the study and for a certain period after the last administration of the investigational drug, in accordance with the package insert of each drug.
