About this study

  • To determine the feasibility of fludarabine and cytarabine as continuous infusion plus granulocyte-colony stimulating factor priming for elderly patients with resistant acute myeloid leukemia other than acute promyelocytic leukemia
  • The feasibility will be evaluated in terms of toxicities, complete remission rate, duration of complete remission, disease-free survival, and overall survival.
Read the detailed description
  • A second course of induction chemotherapy can be given to the patient when a partial remission but less than a complete remission is achieved after the first course. At least 4 weeks should be apart between start of the first course and start of the second course.
  • G-CSF (Lenograstim) 250 g/day will begin to be administered after the confirmation of hypocellular bone marrow with blasts less than 5% on day 14 or later until absolute neutrophil counts are 1,000/l or more.
  • For the patients who achieve a complete remission, consolidation therapy will be given as follows:
  • Two more cycles of the same chemotherapy will be given to the patients who achieve a complete remission after single induction course. Allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation could be also considered.
  • In patients who relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, donor leukocyte infusion will be done without consolidation chemotherapy.
  • In patients who had extramedullary relapse(s), local radiotherapy can be given to the relapse site(s).

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine , cytarabine in people with Acute Myeloid 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 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 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Keun-Hee Kim, nurse (82-2-3010-7290, kuny9847@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete remission rate, duration of complete remission, toxicities. 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 27 Sep 2007.
