Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); ii. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 1. ≤2.5 × ULN 2. ≤5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases iii. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <!-- --> 1. ≤2.5 × ULN 2. ≤5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases iv. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 1\. ≤2.5 × ULN * European Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, 2 or 3 * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to taking their first dose of study medication. Male patients and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to practice highly effective methods of contraception (such as hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, intrauterine device with hormone spirals, total sexual abstinence, vasectomy) throughout the study and for \>3 months after the last dose of study medication. Female patients are considered NOT of childbearing potential if they have a history of surgical sterility or evidence of post-menopausal status defined as any of the following: 1. Natural menopause with last menses \>1 year ago 2. Radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses \>1 year ago 3. Chemotherapy induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: * Patients on treatment for AML (any anti-leukemic therapy including investigational agents) or treated less than 2 weeks before inclusion. * Concurrent history of active malignancy in the past six months prior to diagnosis except for * basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin * in situ carcinoma of the cervix * Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, infection, hypertension, pulmonary disease et cetera) at the investigators discretion. * Breastfeeding women * Cardiac dysfunction as defined by: * myocardial infarction within the last 3 months of study entry, or * congestive heart failure NYHA class IV or * unstable angina, or * unstable cardiac arrhythmias * SARS-CoV-2 infection \< 7 days or Covid-19-vaccine \< 7 days from study onset * Patients with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens or who are considered unreliable with respect to compliance. * Patients with any serious concomitant medical condition that could, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise participation in the study. * Patients with senile dementia, mental impairment or any other psychiatric disorder that prohibits the patient from understanding and giving informed consent. * Current concomitant chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy other than as specified in the protocol. * Known hypersensitivity to study medications or its excipients. * Any psychological, familial, sociological, and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
