• - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months of randomization are eligible for this trial.

• - For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.

• - Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured.

For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

• - Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.

• - Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification.

To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better.

• - Patients must be able to swallow oral tablets and be free of gastrointestinal (GI) absorption issues.

Exclusion Criteria:

• - Patient must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to the potential harm to an unborn fetus and possible risk for adverse events in nursing infants with the treatment regimens being used.

• - All patients of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 14 days prior to randomization to rule out pregnancy.

• - A patient of childbearing potential is defined as anyone, regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months) - Patients of childbearing potential and/or sexually active patients must not expect to conceive or father children by using an accepted and effective method(s) of contraception or by abstaining from sexual intercourse for the duration of their participation in the study and continue for 6 months after the last dose of daunorubicin + cytarabine liposome, 6 months after the last dose of azacitidine for patients of childbearing potential, 3 months after the last dose of azacitidine for male patients, and for 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax.

Patient must also abstain from nursing an infant for 2 weeks after the last dose of daunorubicin + cytarabine liposome and for 1 week after the last dose of azacitidine.

• - Patients must not have FLT3 TKD or ITD mutation.

Patients with this mutation, will be excluded from this study because myeloMATCH plans separate studies in tier-2 for those patients.

• - Patient must not be receiving any other investigational agents at the time of randomization.

• - Patient must not have history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cytarabine, azacitidine, venetoclax or daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome.

- Patients must not have uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

• I. To improve the rate of measurable residual disease (MRD) negative complete remission (CR) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved a MRD positive CR after induction chemotherapy received in a myeloMATCH young adult basket tier-1 protocol.

• II. To determine the rate of achieving MRD negative CR after 2 cycles of post-remission therapy with cytarabine vs.#46; cytarabine + venetoclax or liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine (daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome) + venetoclax azacitidine + venetoclax in AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who were MRD positive post induction therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

• I. To determine the disease-free survival, overall survival in this group of patients.

• II. Assess the percentage of patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).

• III. Compare toxicities of each experimental arm with the control arm.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

• I. Evaluate MRD kinetics by following patients with detectable MRD through tier 2 and beyond.

• II. Evaluate longer term outcomes by treatment arm, genomics, MRD outcome, and other features as patients receive additional myeloMATCH therapies to generate testable hypotheses for more precise patient selection for these therapies aimed at improving outcomes.
