What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Every patient responds differently to their cancer treatment, and some treatments work better for some patients more than others. For patients with relapsed, refractory ( R/R) AML, there may be fewer approved treatment options remaining. In this research study, the investigators are testing whether high throughput drug screening (HTS) in combination with robust molecular testing by HopeSeq (includes DNA sequencing for \>500 genes and 160 gene rearrangements and RNAseq for \>5,000 genes) can help doctors determine which treatment might work best for each individual patient. HTS tests how the patient's own AML cells respond to different treatment options including individual drugs and triple drug regimens and recommends for the best treatment options for an individual patient. Participants will provide extra bone marrow and/or blood at the time of routine procedure, and these extra sample(

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
* Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative.
* Agreement to allow the use of archival tissue from diagnostic tumor biopsies
* Age: ≥ 18 years
* ECOG ≤ 3 (Appendix A)
* Patients with histologically confirmed AML according to ICC or WHO criteria, and
* Refractory/relapsed (R/R) to prior treatment with one or more regimens if adverse risk or two or more regimens if favorable/intermediate risk (Appendix B)
* Sufficient bone marrow and/or peripheral blood sample (archival or fresh) to run the high throughput screening (HTS; Estimate sufficient if circulating blast count of 5,000 or greater or cellular marrow with greater than or equal to 20% blasts.) Otherwise,
* Sufficient cells flushed from bone marrow biopsy, if bone marrow is not aspirable, OR
* Extramedullary disease, if it is possible to obtain a fluid or biopsy sample from that location
* Expected survival is greater than 100 days.
* Fully recovered from the acute toxic effects (except alopecia) to ≤ Grade 1 to prior anti-cancer therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
* Treatment with any chemotherapeutic agent necessary to control AML burden is permitted between day -18 and -1.
* Must not have received or planning to receive live vaccine while being on study
* Patients with t(15;17) karyotypic abnormality or acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB class M3-AML)
* Active central nervous system (CNS) disease (OK if treated and responding)
* Active graft vs host disease (GVHD)
* Unstable cardiac disease as defined by one of the following:
* Cardiac events such as myocardial infarction (MI) within the past 6 months
* Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or hypertension
* Clinically significant uncontrolled illness
* Uncontrolled active infection
* Females only: Pregnant or breastfeeding
* Any other condition or active malignancy that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures.
* Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).
