LeukemiaPhase 2NCT00528398
Idarubicin and High-Dose Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
A Phase 2 study testing cytarabine and idarubicin in people with Leukemia, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 2 sites in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase II Trial Utilizing Idarubicin in Combination With High Dose Ara-C for Induction Therapy for Adult Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving idarubicin together with high-dose cytarabine works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the complete remission rate (CR).
- Determine the proportion of patients who are bone marrow-positive at day 7 post-induction chemotherapy.
- Further evaluate the toxicity of this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients receive cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 1-4 and idarubicin IV over 5-10 minutes on days 1-3. Patients undergo bone marrow aspirate and biopsy 7 days after completion of induction chemotherapy. Patients with > 25% cellular biopsy or > 10% abnormal cells on aspirate receive 4 more doses of cytarabine and 1 dose of idarubicin.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete Remission (CR)
The peripheral blood neutrophil count is >= 1.5 x 10^9 / L and platelets more than 100 x 10^9 / L. Leukemia blast cells are not present in the peripheral blood. The cellularity of the bone marrow is more than 20% with maturation of all cell lines. The bone marrow contains less than 5% blast cells, and Auer rods is not detectable.
Measured: 7 days post completion of induction chemotherapy
Secondary outcomes (1)
Bone Marrow at Day 7 Post-Induction Chemotherapy
Bone marrow positive, negative cells at day 7 post-induction chemotherapy for leukemia (%)
Measured: 7 days post completion of induction chemotherapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing cytarabine and idarubicin in people with Leukemia, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 2 sites in United States.
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 11 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 6 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Feb 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Complete Remission (CR) (time frame: 7 days post completion of induction chemotherapy). 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 6 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
