Participants will also receive 30 mg/m^2 of fludarabine followed by 2 g/m^2 of cytarabine on Days 8-12. Gemtuzumab 3 mg/m^2 will be given on Day 13 (only for participants with CD33 expression on leukemia blasts).
During cycle 2, participants will receive 600 mg adult dose equivalent of venetoclax on Days 1-21. Participants will receive 30 mg/m^2 of fludarabine followed by 2 g/m^2 of cytarabine on Days 1-5.

enrollment on ITCC-101/APAL2020D. (This is only applicable for participants in
USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand sites/LLS territory).

- Participants must be = 29 days of age and = 21 years of age at enrollment.

- Participants must have one of the following:

FLT3/internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in:

1. Second relapse, who are sufficiently fit to undergo another round of
intensive chemotherapy

2. First relapse who per investigator discretion cannot tolerate additional
anthracycline containing chemotherapy.

- Participants must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative
Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2 (= 50% Lansky or Karnofsky score)

- Participants must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior
anti-cancer therapy and must meet the following minimum duration from prior
anti-cancer directed therapy prior to start of protocol treatment:

1. Cytotoxic chemotherapy: Must not have received cytotoxic chemotherapy within 14
days prior to start of protocol treatment, except for corticosteroids, low dose
cytarabine or hydroxyurea that can be given up to 24 hours prior to start of

Summary
Brief summary
A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone
(fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of
children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are
unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.
