About this study

Official title: Risk Adapted Treatment for Primary AML in Adults, Based on Genetics and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Patients up to the Age of 70 Years.

The AML-03 regimen investigates the addition of G-CSF priming to both induction and consolidation chemotherapies administrated in the previous AML-99 trial (NCT01716793) refines risk-stratification based on biological characterization also the AML-03 trial incorporates novel approaches for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: such as Mylotarg™ "in vivo purging" in autografts, extends unrelated volunteers donors for allotransplants in high-risk patients, and introduces reduced intensity conditioning in patients with elder age (more than 50 years old).

The aims of these modifications are to analyse eficacy and toxicity of this induction and consolidation therapy and to analyse the disease free survival in patients who achieved complete response following a risk adjusted therapy.

Read the detailed description

Induction chemotherapy: idarubicin (12mg/m2/day intravenous, days 1, 3 and 5), intermediate-dose cytarabine (500mg/m2/12h, intravenous, days 1, 3 and 5) and etoposide (100mg/m2/day, intravenous, from day 1 to 3) as in AML-99 trial (NCT01716793), with the addition of subcutaneous G-CSF from day 0 to the last day of chemotherapy. This induction therapy is repeated if complete remission (CR) is not achieved after the first course of treatment.

Consolidation therapy (as in AML-99 trial): mitoxantrone (12mg/m2/day, intravenous, days 4 to 6) and intermediate-dose cytarabine (500mg/m2/12h from day 1 to 6).

Risk-stratification according to cytogenetics, courses to CR and availability of an HLA-identical sibling:

  • Patients in the favorable cytogenetics group [t(8;21), inv(16) or t(16;16)] and Leukocyte index <20 at diagnosis (LI=white blood cell count (WBC) x (blasts in bone marrow/100) are treated with one course of high-dose cytarabine (3g/m2/12h, intravenous, days 1, 3 and 5), but in case of LI>20 at diagnosis the intention is to perform an autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation.
  • Patients in intermediate risk group, with normal karyotype, a single course of induction chemotherapy to achieve the CR, the absence of adverse molecular features (FLT3-ITD or MLL-PTD) and low minimal residual disease levels after consolidation (MRD<0,1%) receive an autologous PBSC transplant, regardless of having an HLA-identical sibling.
  • The remaining patients defined as high-risk patients are treated with an allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Depending on the age, if the patient has an HLA-identical sibling donor, up to age of 50 years old it is performed with conventional conditioning therapy and positive selection of CD34+, older patients receive a reduced intensity conditioning regimen.
  • Very high risk patients without a sibling are allocated to unrelated donor (9-10/10). Patients with adverse cytogenetics and/or FLT3-ITD without an adequate donor received Mylotarg™ as "in vivo purging" followed by an autologous PBSC transplantation.

What participants receive

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

  • Ara-CDrug

    • Intermediate dose during induction phase to remission.
    • High dose during consolidation phase in patients with favorable cytogenetics and leukocyte index below 20.
  • Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.Other

    • In patients with favorable cytogenetics with a Leukocyte index above 20.
    • Patients with normal karyotype, and one cycle of chemotherapy to achieve complete remission, without adverse molecular and/or minimal residual disease (MRD) characteristics, regardless availability of a matched donor.
  • Allogeneic matched related or unrelated donor transplant.Other

    -Patients without favorable/intermediate characteristics.

  • G-CSFDrug

    Also called Filgastrim.

    • Administration at induction phase to remission, days 0 to 7. G-CSF will not be initiated if the leukocyte count is over 30x10e9/L at diagnosis or will be interrupted if the leukocyte count during treatmen arises 30x10e9/L.
    • Administration at consolidation phase, days 4 to 6 (3 doses). G-CSF will be interrupted if the leukocyte count during treatment arises 30x10e9/L.
  • CD34+ selection.Other

    -Patients with adverse prognosis with allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)tranplantation, CD34+ cell selection of the inoculum was performed.

  • Mylotarg purging before autologous PBSC transplantationOther

    Patients without favorable/intermediate characteristics and without matched related donor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete remission rate (CRR)

    Analyze the efficacy and toxicity of IDICE-G (idarubicin, intermediate doses of ara-C and etoposide) and G-CSF to achieve complete remission.

    Measured: 2 months.

  2. Disease free survival (DFS).

    Analyze the disease free suvival of patients in remission, with a therapeutic strategy adjusted to the prognostic factors.

    Mortality in remission after chemotherapy and/or peripheral blood stem cell tranplantation.

    Measured: 4 years.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity in patients over 60 years old.

    Toxicity of the induction and intensification treatment in patients with more than 60 years old, in terms of unexpected adverse drug reaction, morbidity and mortality.

    Measured: 4 years.

  2. Evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry and/or molecular markers during and after treatment.

    Study the immunophenotype characteristics and/or molecular markers at diagnosis, and during the different treatment phases.

    Measured: 4 years.

  3. Feasibility of post-remission treatment in patients with 60 or more years old.

    Study the effect of post-remission treatments in patients with more than 60 years to evaluate the success of consolidation treatments.

    Measured: 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ara-C, Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. and Allogeneic matched related or unrelated donor transplant. in people with Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute, run by Grupo Cooperativo de Estudio y Tratamiento de las Leucemias Agudas y Mielodisplasias at 21 sites in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 11 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 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Spain. 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?

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?

Complete remission rate (CRR) (time frame: 2 months.). 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?
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 Nov 2012.
