About this study

Official title: Descriptive Study Evaluating the Presence and Function of Natural Killer Cells in Elderly Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Remission.

RATIONALE: Studying natural killer cells in samples of blood from patients with cancer may help doctors find out how these cells are effected by chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying natural killer cells in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the evolution of functional receptors of natural killer (NK) cells after completion of chemotherapy in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission.

Secondary

  • Measure the kinetics of cytotoxic functional recovery of NK cells.
  • Determine activation markers of NK cells.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive 1 course of consolidation therapy comprising an anthracycline and cytarabine to induce first remission.

Blood is collected on day 0 of the consolidation course and then every 2 weeks for 8 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cytarabine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Leukemia, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes 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?

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 16 May 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 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.

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?

Evolution of functional natural killer (NK) cells after 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 16 May 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
