About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized Multicenter Study of Induction With or Without Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor in AML

Background The effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) on recovery following induction chemotherapy are widely accepted. However, their impact on response and survival has not been clarified yet. Male gender has been claimed to be a susceptibility factor for development of leukemia and shorten survival but effect of sex has not been analyzed in clinical trials utilizing G-CSF.

Design and Methods Efficacy and safety of G-CSF as an adjunct to de novo AML remission induction therapy was assessed in this prospective randomized Phase III multicenter trial. Patients were randomized to receive induction therapy consisting of either cytosine arabinoside 100mg/m2/d, days 1-10 and idarubicin 12 mg/m2/d, days 1-3 (control arm) or plus G-CSF (Filgrastim, 5 µg/kg/d starting from day 8 until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) over 0.5x109/L for two consecutive days) for a median duration of 14 days (G-CSF arm).

After achievement of CR, all patients received first consolidation course of Ara-C 1 gr/sq.m/d (d1-5) and Ida 12 mg/sq.m/d (d1-3). If patients did not have an HLA identical donor they were randomized to receive second course of consolidation either high dose Ara-C 3 gr/sq.m/d (d1, 3, 5) or G-CSF for collection of stem cells for the consecutive PBSCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing G-CSF in people with AML, run by Turkish Leukemia Study Group.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

response to induction (time frame: 3 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00820976, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jan 2009.
