• Adult AML aged >/= 18 years

• WHO performance status: grade 0-2 at the time of enrollment

• Active HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection

• Use of any antitumoral agent within less than 5 times the half-life of the agent prior to the screening bone marrow examination. After the screening bone marrow examination, the use of cytoreductive treatment prior to the initiation of venetoclax is permitted in order to lower the WBC-count to <25 000/µl (e.g. hydroxyurea).
