Eligibility


Registration Inclusion Criteria

   - Participant is considered a suitable candidate for HCT and has an acceptable source of
   allogeneic donor stem cells, as defined per institutional practice (allogeneic HCT for
   any donor source [matched sibling, unrelated donor (URD), mismatched URD, related
   haploidentical, or umbilical cord blood] and any graft source [umbilical cord, BM,
   peripheral blood (PB)], and any conditioning [myeloablative conditioning (MAC),
   reduced intensity conditioning (RIC), or non-myeloablative conditioning (NMA)] will be
   permitted).

   - Participant is considered a legal adult by local regulation at the time of signing
   informed consent form (ICF).

   - Participant consents to allow access to diagnostic BM aspirate or PB sample and/or the
   DNA derived from that sample, if available, that may be used to validate a companion
   diagnostic that is being developed in parallel with gilteritinib.

   - Participant has confirmed, morphologically documented AML in CR1. For the purposes of
   registration, CR1 will be defined as < 5% blasts in the BM with no morphologic
   characteristics of acute leukemia (e.g., Auer Rods) in the BM with no evidence of
   extramedullary disease such as central nervous system involvement or granulocytic
   sarcoma.

      - Participant has not received more than 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy to
      achieve CR1. The induction cycles can be the same regimen or different regimens.
      The regimen(s) may contain conventional agents, investigational agents, or a
      combination of both.

      - Participants with CR with incomplete count recovery (CRp or CRi) are allowed.
      Incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) is defined as CR with platelet count < 100 x
      109/L. Incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) is defined as CR with residual
      neutropenia < 1 x 109/L with or without complete platelet recovery. Red blood
      cell count (RBC) and platelet transfusion independence is not required.

      - The maximum time allowed from establishment of CR1 to registration is 12 months.

   - Participant has presence of the FLT3/ITD activating mutation in the BM or PB as
   determined by the local institution at diagnosis.

   - Participant must meet the following criteria as indicated on the clinical laboratory
   tests:

      - Serum creatinine within normal range, or if serum creatinine outside normal
      range, then glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 40 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated
      with the Cockcroft-Gault equation with adjustment if total body weight is ≥ 125%
      of ideal body weight.

      - Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤ 2.5 mg/dL, except for participants with Gilbert's
      syndrome.

      - Serum AST and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x institutional upper limit
      of normal (ULN).

   - Participant has left ventricular ejection fraction at rest ≥ 40%.

   - Participant has diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected
   for hemoglobin) ≥ 50% predicted and/or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥
   50% predicted.

      - postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without menses) prior to screening or

      - documented as surgically sterilized (at least 1 month prior to the screening
      visit)

   - Or, if of childbearing potential,

      - Agree not to try to become pregnant during the study for 6 months after the final
      study drug administration

      - And have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening

      - And, if heterosexually active, agree to consistently use highly effective
      contraception per locally accepted standards in addition to a barrier method
      starting at screening and throughout the study period and for 6 months after the
      final study drug administration.

      - For United Kingdom sites:

      - Highly effective forms of birth control include:

      - Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives that inhibit
      ovulation

      - Established intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)

   - Female participants must agree not to breastfeed or donate ova throughout the study
   drug treatment period and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

   - Male participants (even if surgically sterilized), and partners who are women of
   childbearing potential must be using highly effective contraception in addition to a
   barrier method throughout the study drug treatment period and for 127 days after the
   final study drug administration.

      - Highly effective forms of birth control include:

      - Consistent and correct usage of established hormonal contraceptives that inhibit
      ovulation

      - Established IUD or IUS

   - Male participants must not donate sperm throughout the study drug treatment period and
   for 127 days after the final study drug administration.
