About this study

Official title: A RANDOMIZED COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT DOSAGES OF DAUNORUBICIN IN INDUCTION TREATMENT OF ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA

Determine the effects of escalated dose of daunorubicin in induction treatment of adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia who are younger than 60 years of age.

Read the detailed description
  1. Induction chemotherapy
  • For patients randomized to receive regular dose of Daunorubicin (Arm I) will be given Cytarabine 200 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 7 days along with Daunorubicin 45 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 3 days.
  • For patients randomized to receive higher dose of Daunorubicin (Arm II) will be given Cytarabine 200 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 7 days along with Daunorubicin 90 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 3 days.
  1. Reinduction chemotherapy
  • Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will be performed on day 14 of induction chemotherapy. If the bone marrow is hypoplastic and contains no more than 5% blast cells, further chemotherapy will be deferred and the marrow examination will be repeated at the time of ANC ≥ 1,500/μl and platelets ≥ 100,000/μl in the peripheral blood for the evaluation of complete remission. If more than 5% blast cells persist or if the marrow cellularity in the biopsy specimen exceeds 15%, a course of reinduction chemotherapy will be given.
  • Reinduction chemotherapy consists of Cytarabine 200 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 5 days along with Daunorubicin 45 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 2 days in both arms.
  1. Postremission therapy
  • The same postremission therapy will be given to the patients in both arms.
  • Four courses of Cytarabine 3 g/m2 will be administered in a 3-hour iv infusion every 12 hours (twice daily) on days 1, 3, and 5 for a total of six doses per course. After the four courses of Cytarabine therapy, patients will receive two monthly treatments with Cytarabine (200 mg/m2/day by a 3-hour iv infusion for 5 days) and Daunorubicin (45 mg/m2 by rapid iv infusion on the first treatment day).
  • If patients have HLA-matched sibling or unrelated donors, allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be performed.
  • A complete remission will be defined as ≤ 5% blasts in a normocellular bone marrow with ANC ≥ 1,500/μl and platelets ≥ 100,000/μl in the peripheral blood and the disappearance of all blasts in bone marrow.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Toxicities, complete remission rate, duration of complete remission, disease-free survival, overall survival

    The effects will be evaluated in terms of toxicities, complete remission rate, duration of complete remission, disease-free survival, and overall survival.

    Measured: 10years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing arm II in people with ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA, run by Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

Toxicities, complete remission rate, duration of complete remission, disease-free survival, overall survival (time frame: 10years). 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 NCT00474006, 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 10 Jun 2011.
