Official title: Guideline for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Patients Eith Acutypromyelocytic Leukemia, Aged > 12 Months (1 Year) and <75 Years, Using All-trans Retinoic Acid in Combination With Idarubicin

The main purposes of the AIDA protocol are to test the role of intermittent maintenance therapy with ATRA, standard maintenance chemotherapy with methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine of both in PCR negative patients at the end of the consolidation phase and to evaluate the role of allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation in PCR positive patients at the end of the consolidation phase.

  • all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the role of maintenance therapy with ATRA, chemotherapy or both in PCR negative patients at the end of the consolidation phase.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To assess the role of allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation in PCR positive patients at the end of the consolidation phase

  2. To evaluate the role of maintenance therapy with ATRA and chemotherapy in PCR positive patients at the end of the consolidation phase not eligible for a BMT procedure

  3. To assess the efficacy, in terms of CR rate, and toxicity of an induction treatment combining ATRA with Idarubicin
