Key inclusion criteria
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).

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

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

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.

- Be of non-childbearing potential:

- 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.

- For United Kingdom sites:

- Highly effective forms of birth control include:

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

- Established IUD or IUS

- Vasectomy (A vasectomy is a highly effective contraception method provided the
absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective
method of contraception should be used.)

- Male is sterile due to a bilateral orchiectomy

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

- Participant is able to take an oral medication.

- Participant agrees not to participate in another interventional study while on
treatment.

Randomization Inclusion Criteria

- Participant is = 30 days and = 90 days from hematopoietic cell infusion.

- Participant has achieved engraftment. Engraftment is defined as ANC = 500 cells/µL and
platelets = 20000/µL on 3 consecutive measurements (each occurring at least 1 day
apart). The participant must not have had a platelet transfusion within 7 days prior
to the first measurement.

- Participant has confirmed ongoing morphologically documented AML in CR1. For the
purposes of randomization, CR1 will be defined as < 5% blasts 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 meets the following criteria as indicated on the clinical laboratory
tests:

- Serum creatinine within normal range, or if serum creatinine outside normal
range, then 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.

- TBL < 2.5 mg/dL, except for participants with Gilbert's syndrome.

- Serum AST and/or ALT < 3 x institutional ULN.

- Serum potassium and magnesium = the institutional lower limit of normal (LLN).

- If the participant has developed overall grades II-IV acute GVHD, the following
criteria must be met to be randomized:

- No requirement of > 0.5 mg/kg of prednisone (or equivalent) daily dose within 1
week of randomization

- No escalation of systemic immunosuppression in terms of increase of
corticosteroids or addition of new agent / modality within 2 weeks of
randomization. (Note that increasing calcineurin inhibitors or sirolimus to
achieve therapeutic trough levels is allowed.) Topical skin and topical
gastrointestinal steroids are allowed.

- Participant is able to take oral medication.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare relapse-free survival between participants with
FLT3/ITD AML in first morphologic complete remission (CR1) who undergo hematopoietic stem
cell transplant (HCT) and are randomized to receive gilteritinib or placebo beginning after
the time of engraftment for a two year period.
