Trial summary

The prognosis for older individuals with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been historically poor, with 2 year disease-free survival rates < 20% reported. Younger patients with AML in first complete remission are routinely treated using a full intensity (myelo-ablative) chemotherapy followed by a blood stem cell… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Older Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

The prognosis for older individuals with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been historically poor, with 2 year disease-free survival rates < 20% reported. Younger patients with AML in first complete remission are routinely treated using a full intensity (myelo-ablative) chemotherapy followed by a blood stem cell transplant. For the older patient with AML, full intensity therapy transplants have been greatly limited by increased rates of toxic effects related to this type of conditioning regimen. Reduced intensity (non-myeloablative) conditioning regimens have been used in a number of clinical settings, including AML therapy, to lessen the regimen related toxicity in the older patient. Recent data from the University of Michigan Blood and Marrow Transplant Program suggests improved survival for individuals > 55 years in age undergoing reduced intensity, transplants from unrelated donors. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of this treatment option for older patients with AML, with the primary goal being to improve the survival and lifespan for older patients with AML.

What participants receive

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

  • FludarabineDrug

    Fludarabine (40 mg/m2/day x 4 days)

  • BusulfanDrug

    Busulfan (3.2 mg/m2/day x 2 days or x 4 days).

  • Total Body IrradiationRadiation

    Patients who receive Busulfan 3.2 mg/m2/day x 2 days and a mismatched allograft (7/8 HLA match) will also receive 200 cGy of total body irradiation (TBI) pre-transplant.

  • Stem Cell TransplantProcedure or surgery

    Allogeneic stem cell transplant from related or unrelated donor

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Relapse Free Survival at 1 Year

    The primary objective was to determine the 1 year relapse free survival rate (RFS) for individuals > 55 years in age with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR) who undergo a 7-8/8 HLA- matched unrelated donor transplant using a reduced intensity regimen.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants Alive at 1 Year

    One of the secondary objectives was to determine overall survival for patients > 55 years in age with AML undergoing full or reduced transplant with the best available donor.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Busulfan and Total Body Irradiation in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site 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 18 inclusion and 7 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 8 Apr 2016. 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 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 17 Jul 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Relapse Free Survival at 1 Year (time frame: 1 year). 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 8 Apr 2016.
