14 treatment settings, 11 with more than one named option. Each section lays out the options the standard of care names, what each is for, the trials behind them with their recorded results, the side effects and cautions on record, and questions to ask. Built from the cancer page's standard-of-care rows; nothing here is advice for your case.
7+3 ± targeted agent; consolidation; allogeneic transplant by risk.
Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) is an anti-CD33 antibody linked to the DNA-cutting payload calicheamicin, the first ADC approved, in 2000 for relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia. An unstable linker and no benefit in a confirmatory trial led to withdrawal in 2010; it returned in 2017 at a lower fractionated dose, with liver toxicity, including veno-occlusive disease, its defining risk.
Cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs (platinums, antimetabolites, microtubule agents and topoisomerase inhibitors) kill rapidly dividing cells by damaging DNA or the mitotic spindle. They still cure testicular cancer, lymphoma and leukaemia, and they are the warhead inside antibody-drug conjugates, but a narrow margin between effective and toxic doses is their limitation.

Marrow morphology, flow, karyotype/FISH, rapid FLT3/NPM1/IDH testing (results within days), NGS panel; ELN 2022 risk; fitness assessment. Menin-inhibitor and FLT3-inhibitor eligibility depends on these results.
Looking at the leukaemia's chromosomes under a microscope, or lighting up specific gene breaks with fluorescent probes, to classify risk.
Sequencing hundreds of cancer genes at once from a biopsy to find the mutations a drug can target.

7+3 plus midostaurin (ITD or TKD) or quizartinib (ITD only), consolidation with continued inhibitor, allogeneic transplant for most FLT3-ITD in CR1, post-transplant FLT3-inhibitor maintenance if MRD-positive.
The intensive chemotherapy that has induced remission in fit AML patients since 1973: seven days of one drug, three of another. Still the backbone that targeted drugs are added to.
The first drug to improve survival in FLT3-mutated AML, added to standard chemotherapy: median survival went from about two years to more than six.
Quizartinib is a more selective FLT3 blocker that, added to chemotherapy, roughly doubled median survival in the highest-risk FLT3 subtype.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation replaces a patient's blood system with a donor's after conditioning chemotherapy, so donor immune cells hunt down leukaemia left behind. It remains the only cure for adverse-risk acute myeloid leukaemia, high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and Richter transformation, at the price of graft-versus-host disease.
Averages across everyone diagnosed, often years ago. Your stage, subtype, age, fitness and the treatment you receive matter more than the average, and the numbers are improving quickly.

7+3 plus fractionated gemtuzumab ozogamicin (ALFA-0701); high-dose cytarabine consolidation; MRD-guided transplant for intermediate risk.
Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) is an anti-CD33 antibody linked to the DNA-cutting payload calicheamicin, the first ADC approved, in 2000 for relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia. An unstable linker and no benefit in a confirmatory trial led to withdrawal in 2010; it returned in 2017 at a lower fractionated dose, with liver toxicity, including veno-occlusive disease, its defining risk.

Venetoclax + azacitidine (VIALE-A) or venetoclax + oral decitabine-cedazuridine (ASCERTAIN-V, 2026); ivosidenib + azacitidine if IDH1-mutated (AGILE); low-dose cytarabine + venetoclax as an alternative. Continue until progression; consider transplant in responders who become fit.
A pill that removes the survival shield from leukaemia cells, enabling chemotherapy-free, time-limited treatment for CLL.
A gentle chemotherapy that switches silenced genes back on. With venetoclax it became the standard for older people with AML who cannot take intensive treatment.
Oral decitabine-cedazuridine is a pill version of the hypomethylating chemotherapy that, since May 2026, lets older AML patients take their whole venetoclax regimen at home.
The first drug to block a mutant metabolic enzyme in cancer. With azacitidine it tripled survival in IDH1-mutated AML that could not take intensive chemotherapy.
OS 14.7 vs 9.6 months, HR 0.66; CR 36.7% vs 17.9%.

Ivosidenib or olutasidenib (IDH1), enasidenib (IDH2), often with azacitidine or venetoclax; differentiation-syndrome monitoring.
The first drug to block a mutant metabolic enzyme in cancer. With azacitidine it tripled survival in IDH1-mutated AML that could not take intensive chemotherapy.
Olutasidenib is a second IDH1 inhibitor for relapsed AML, with a higher response rate in its pivotal cohort than ivosidenib had in its own.
Enasidenib is the IDH2 counterpart of ivosidenib, approved in the US for relapsed disease but never approved in Europe after it failed to extend survival in a confirmatory trial.
