What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg)Drug
Induction Cycle 1, 2: GO 3mg/m² by intravenous infusion (IVI) on day 1 (total dose 3 mg/m2). Start after etoposide IVI. No dose reduction is foreseen in elderly (> 60 yrs) patients.
Consolidation 1: GO 3mg/m² by intravenous infusion (IVI) on day 1 (total dose 3 mg/m2). Start after first dose of high-dose cytarabine. No dose reduction is foreseen in elderly (> 60 yrs) patients.
For all patients experiencing prolonged thrombocytopenia CTC-Grade 3/4 during the first or second induction therapy, which occurs for more than day 35 after start of the cycle, the further cycles of therapy will be administered without Gemtuzumab ozogamicin.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg) and standard chemotherapy in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Ulm at 60 sites in 2 countries.
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 10 inclusion and 20 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 27 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 60 sites in Germany, Austria. 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 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?
Overall survival (OS) (time frame: four years). 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 NCT00893399, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 Feb 2023.
