Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
CAHAG regimenPlacebo regimen
CAHAG regimen: Chidamide 30mg orally twice every week for 2 weeks on days 1, 4, 8, 11, azacytidine 75mg/m2 intravenously daily for 7 days (d3-d9) and HAG regimen (cytarabine, 10 mg/m2 subcutaneously every 12 h on days 3-16; homoharringtonine, 1mg/m2 intravenously every day on days 3-16; and concurrent granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, 200mg/m2/day subcutaneously daily from days 2 to neutral granulocyte recovery. (when WBC \> 20×10E9/L, G-CSF paused).
One treatment cycle for 28 days, a total of 2 cycles. If the bone marrow assessment is MLFS on the 28th day in the first cycle, the second cycle of treatment will be started after NE\<1.0×10E9/L; if the delay exceeds 2 weeks, the patient needs to withdraw from the trial.
Placebo regimen: Chidamide 0mg orally twice every week for 2 weeks on days 1, 4, 8, 11, azacytidine 75mg/m2 intravenously daily for 7 days (d3-d9) and HAG regimen (cytarabine, 10 mg/m2 subcutaneously every 12 h on days 3-16; homoharringtonine, 1mg/m2 intravenously every day on days 3-16; and concurrent granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, 200mg/m2/day subcutaneously daily from days 2 to neutral granulocyte recovery. (when WBC \> 20×10E9/L, G-CSF paused).
One treatment cycle for 28 days, a total of 2 cycles. If the bone marrow assessment is MLFS on the 28th day in the first cycle, the second cycle of treatment will be started after NE\<1.0×10E9/L; if the delay exceeds 2 weeks, the patient needs to withdraw from the trial.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 years
* Patients diagnosed with AML according to 2016 WHO myeloid malignant disease diagnosis standard (Non-APL)

A: Refractory AML disease was defined as follows: (1) failure to attain CR following exposure to at least 2 courses of standard or intensive induction therapy; or (2) bone marrow leukemia cell decline index (BMCDI) \< 50% and \> 20% after 1 course of standard or intensive induction therapy. B: Relapsed AML disease was defined as follows: (1) reappearance of leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood after CR; or (2) detection of ≥ 5% blasts in the BM not attributable to another cause (e.g., BM regeneration after consolidation therapy); or (3) extramedullary relapse.
* ECOG performance status score less than 3
* Expected survival time ˃ 3 months
* Patients without serious heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease
* Ability to understand and voluntarily provide informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who are allergic to the study drug or drugs with similar chemical structures
* Pregnant or lactating women, and women of childbearing age who do not want to practice effective methods of contraception
* Active infection
* Active bleeding
* Patients with new thrombosis, embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, or other diseases or a medical history within one year before enrollment
* Patients with mental disorders or other conditions whereby informed consent cannot be obtained and where the requirements of the study treatment and procedures cannot be met
* Liver function abnormalities (total bilirubin \> 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range, ALT/AST \> 2.5 times the upper limit of the normal range or patients with liver involvement whose ALT/AST \> 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range), or renal anomalies (serum creatinine \> 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal value)
* Patients with a history of clinically significant QTc interval prolongation (male \> 450 ms; female \> 470 ms), ventricular heart tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, II-degree heart block, myocardial infarction attack within one year before enrollment, and congestive heart failure, and patients with coronary heart disease who have clinical symptoms and requiring drug treatment
* Surgery on the main organs within the past six weeks
* Drug abuse or long-term alcohol abuse that would affect the evaluation results
* Patients who have received organ transplants (excepting bone marrow transplantation)
* Patients not suitable for the study according to the investigator's assessment
Primary outcome measure(s)
Overall response rate (ORR) — At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) The overall response (completed remission without minimal residual disease, completed remission with incomplete blood count recovery, morphologic leukemia-free state and partial remission) rate achieved after one or two courses(28 days) induction therapy by CAHAG regimen.
Complete remission without minimal residual disease (CR with MRD-) — At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) If studied pretreatment, CR with negativity for a genetic marker by RT-qPCR, or CR with negativity by MFC
Complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) — At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) All CR criteria except for residual neutropenia (,1.0\*10E9/L \[1000/uL\]) or thrombocytopenia (\<100\*10E9/L \[100 000/uL\])
Morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS) — At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) Bone marrow blasts ,5%; absence of blasts with Auer rods; absence of extramedullary disease; no hematologic recovery required
Partial remission (PR) — At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) All hematologic criteria of CR; decrease of bone marrow blast percentage to 5% to 25%; and decrease of pretreatment bone marrow blast percentage by at least 50%.
