About this study

Official title: FLAG-IDA Chemotherapy Induction Follow by Intensive Chemotherapy Postremission +/- Autologous Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation or Bone Marrow Transplantation in Patients With High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Secondary Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia.

Association group of therapeutic specialities authorized in a remission induction treatment(FLAG-IDA: fludarabine, cytarabine, G-CSF (lenograstim) and idarubicin) and an intensive postremission treatment with authorized therapeutic association specialities and with/without Autologous Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation or Bone Marrow Transplantation in Patients With High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Secondary Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia.

Read the detailed description

To reach the first remission, the patients receive one cycle of FLAG-IDA combination, that include: Fludarabine 30 mg/m 2 /d Days 1 to 4 in IV perfusion during 30 minutes; Cytarabine 2 g/m 2/d, days 1 to 4 in IV perfusion during 4 hours glycosylate G-CSF 300 µg/m 2/d, days -1 to 5 SC; lenograstim 263 µg/d f, days 11 until absolute neutrophil count >1x10 9 /L SC; Idarubicin 10 mg/m2/d, days 1 to 3 IV bolus (15 minutes)

Patients who don't reach complete remission (CR) are considered as a failure and must go out of study.

The participating centres should decide if the patients under 35 years in CR and with unrelated donor, are excluded to be treated with allogenic transplantation or they continue in the study.

The patients who reach CR will receive one consolidation cycle with IDA-ARAC + G-CSF combination:

Idarubicin 10 mg/m2/d, days 1 to 3 IV bolus (15 minutes); Cytarabine 200 mg/m 2/d days 1 to 5 IV in 24 hours continuous perfusion; glycosylate G-CSF(lenograstim) 263 µg, days 12 until absolute neutrophil count >1x10 9 /L SC

The patients younger than 65 years that is possible, will done an autologous transplantation with peripheral stem blood cells or combined with peripheral stem blood cells and bone marrow stem cells. The preparative regimen recommended are BuCy2 (busulfan-cyclophosphamide) and ICT-Cy (irradiation corporal total-cyclophosphamide).

The patients older than 65 years will receive one intensification cycle with carboplatin and G-CSF.

The peripheral blood stem cells collection should be done during the recuperation period after consolidation chemotherapy in patients under 65 years. The leucapheresis procedure could be determinate for in each center participating.

The patients with no sufficient collection of stem cells during the regeneration period post-chemotherapy of consolidation, will receive glycosylate G-CSF (lenograstim, Granocyte®)10 µg/kg/d SC during 5 days, doing the collection cells on days 5 and 6. In the situations that the peripheral blood stem cells are non satisfactory, will realize a collection of bone marrow stem cells.

The realization of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation or combined, depends the number of cells obtained in the collection procedures.In the situations that didn't reach sufficient number of cells (peripheral blood and bone marrow), should be administered one chemotherapy intensification cycle.

The preparative regimen is established by each participating center, but is recommended one of next:

  1. BuCy2 (busulfan 16 mg/kg follow by cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg),
  2. Total-body irradiation 12 Gy and cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg.

Intensification treatment:

Patients older than 65 years and younger than 65 who the collection cells for transplantation is not enough, will receive one cycle of intensification chemotherapy with carboplatin and glycosylate G-CSF:

Carboplatin 300 mg/m2/d days 1 to 4 IV in 24 hours continuous perfusion glycosylate G-CSF (lenograstim)263 µg f days 11 until absolute neutrophil count >1x10 9 /L, SC

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of efficacy of study treatment: complete remission rate, remission duration and global survival

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia duration post-induction chemotherapy

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Determinate the percentage of patients that reach the transplantation

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Determinate the toxicity of induction regimen and the chemotherapy postremission

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia, run by PETHEMA Foundation at 15 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 5 inclusion and 12 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 19 Nov 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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?

Evaluation of efficacy of study treatment: complete remission rate, remission duration and global survival (time frame: 2 years). 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 19 Nov 2008.
