About this study

Official title: PETHEMA-LAM99:Treatment of the Acute Myeloblastic Leukaemia in Patients Over 65 Years

To reproduce or to improve the index of complete responses of protocol LMA-91 with a similar protocol, decreasing the dose of Idarubicin to try to reduce the deaths in induction

Read the detailed description

INDUCTION TREATMENT :Ara-C 100 mg/m 2 /day in continuous perfusion,days 1 - 7. Idarubicin 8 mg/m 2 /day, days 1 - 3 in bolus. GM-CSF (Leucomax) 5 mcg/kg subcutaneous or endovenous from day + 4 after finishing the chemotherapy until the recovery of neutropenia (> 1.000/mm 3)

CONSOLIDATION TREATMENT The patients who reach a complete response with the first cycle, will receive a second cycle to consolidation. The patients who do not reach a complete response with the first cycle will receive a second cycle. If after two cycles,do not obtain the response, patient should leave the protocol.

INTENSIFICATION TREATMENT All the patients who are in complete response after one cycle of induction and one cycle of consolidation, or after two cycles of induction, will receive a treatment of intensification with: ARA-C 500 mg/m 2 /12 h in one hour infusion, days 1-4. Daunomycin 45 mg/m 2 /day bolu, days 5-7. GM-CSF (Leucomax): 5 mcg/kg from day to + 4 after finishing the chemotherapy until the recovery of neutropenia (>1.000/mm 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ARA-C, Idarubicin and Leucomax in people with Acute Myeloblastic Leukaemia, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 24 sites in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Spain. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improve the complete response index in patients diagnosed of acute myeloblastic leukaemia over 65 years. 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 NCT00464217, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jan 2010.
