About this study

Official title: Multicenter Protocol in Treating Patients With Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Randomized Study of Maintenance Treatment With Interleukin-2

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interest of maintenance treatment with interleukin-2 by randomizing the patients being not allogeneic transplanted in complete remission after induction and consolidation chemotherapy concerning the event free survival.

Read the detailed description

We designed an open randomized study to evaluate the interest of maintenance treatment with interleukin-2 by randomizing the patients being not allogeneic transplanted in complete remission after induction and consolidation chemotherapy concerning the event free survival. A total of 580 patients will be accrued over 7 years. Treatment consists in subcutaneous application of interleukin-2 in treating patients with complete remission by a monthly regimen of 5 days during 1 year after having received a chemotherapy consisting of 1 induction and 3 consolidation treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing proleukin in people with Leukemia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guy Leverger, M.D. (33 1 44 73 60 62, guy.leverger@trs.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Interest of interleukin-2 in complete remission after induction and consolidation chemotherapy concerning the event free survival (event = relapse of toxic death) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00149162, which also lists 19 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2009.
