About this study

Official title: Randomized Prospective Study of Adding Lomustine to Idarubicin and Cytarabine for Induction Chemotherapy and Adding Intermediate Dose Cytarabine to Consolidation in Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

A multicenter randomized trial was performed comparing induction therapy (IC: Idarubicin and Cytarabine, 5+7) to ICL (the same drugs plus lomustine (CCNU), 200mg\m2 orally at day 1). Patients in complete remission (CR) were then randomized to receive either maintenance therapy or intensification with intermediate-dose cytarabine and idarubicin followed by maintenance therapy.

Read the detailed description

Induction therapy: Patients were randomized to receive idarubicin plus cytarabine (IC) or the same drugs plus lomustine (ICL), the latter given at the dose of 200 mg/m2 orally at day 1. Patients with persistent leukemia in the bone marrow, defined by at least 20% marrow cellularity with more than 5% blasts on day 14 or at a subsequent time point following initiation of induction therapy, received a second course of induction chemotherapy identical to the initial induction course. Non-responders to the second induction course were taken off the protocol.

Consolidation therapy: After completing induction treatment, patients who were in complete remission after 1 or 2 induction courses received a course of consolidation (IC') therapy with idarubicin and subcutaneous cytarabine. Subsequently, if stable remission persisted, the patients received maintenance therapy or maintenance therapy preceded by a second consolidation (IIC) with intermediate-dose cytarabine. Randomization was performed as soon as CR was achieved.

Maintenance therapy: This was conducted in all patients with persisting CR one month after completing the first (IC) or second (IIC) consolidation and consisted of the following: five courses of combination chemotherapy at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 13 months from the last consolidation, namely cytarabine (subcutaneously) and idarubicin and between these courses for one year: a continuous regimen of methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine, as alternating 10 day-courses .

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Outcomes: The primary objective of this study was to assess the ability of lomustine to increase the CR rate and to improve overall survival

    Measured: 13 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary Outcomes: The secondary objective was to test intermediate-dose cytarabine on survival, and to analyze the impact of prognostic factors on CR and survival.

    Measured: 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lomustine, intermediate dose cytarabine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by French Innovative Leukemia Organisation 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 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 30 May 2007. 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?

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?

Primary Outcomes: The primary objective of this study was to assess the ability of lomustine to increase the CR rate and to improve overall survival (time frame: 13 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 May 2007.
