Study groups in NCT02084563
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AML-Intensive ChemotherapyOtherPatients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia fit for intensive chemotherapy Patients will receive Induction Chemotherapy, and CR will be evaluated after 28 days. Patients who achieve CR post-induction chemotherapy will receive post-remission therapy according to risk: * Low risk patients: Consolidation chemotherapy or Autologous stem cell transplantation * Intermediate and high-risk patients: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation Patients who do not achieve CR may receive one second induction cycle, and if CR is achieved may proceed to post-remission therapy as per above. Patients who do not achieve CR after two cycles of induction will be deemed refractory and removed from the study.
Receives: Drug: Induction Chemotherapy; Drug: Consolidation Chemotherapy; Drug: Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation; Drug: Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
AML-Non-intensive chemotherapyOtherPatients with acute myeloid leukemia not fit for intensive chemotherapy Patients will receive induction chemotherapy with either low dose cytarabine or decitabine. Assignment to each drug will depend on drug availability and physician discretion. No randomization will be done between the drugs. Cycles will be repeated every 28 days. Patients who achieve CR will continue to post-consolidation therapy with either cytarabine or decitabine, based on the induction therapy received. Patients will receive a maximum of 4 cycles until achieving CR, if no response is seen after 4 cycles patients will be deemed refractory.
Receives: Drug: Low Dose Cytarabine; Drug: Decitabine
Chronic Myeloid DisordersNo interventionPatients with Chronic Myeloid Disorders: * Myeloproliferative Neoplasms * Myelodysplastic Syndromes * Myeloproliferative/Myelodysplastic Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of molecular and cytogenetic abnormalities

    As assessed by results of molecular and cytogenetic tests and frequency in the population studied

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall survival

    Evaluation of 5-years overall survival in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Myeloproliferative/Myelodysplastic Neoplasms

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Response rate

    Evaluate complete remission (CR) rate at 1 month for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia who received induction chemotherapy. Complete remission was defined by the presence of < 5% blasts in the bone marrow (BM) with > 1 x 10^9/L neutrophils and >100x10^9/L platelets in the peripheral blood (PB)

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Disease Free Survival

    Evaluate rate of 5-years disease-free survival in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia who enter complete remission after induction chemotherapy

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality

    Evaluate 5-years cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia who achieve complete remission following induction chemotherapy

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Evaluate hematological and non-hematological toxicity in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia treated according to the protocol. Toxicity will be graded as per the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0.3

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Cumulative Incidence of Transformation to Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Evaluate 5-years incidence of transformation to Acute Myeloid Leukemia in patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Myeloproliferative/Myelodysplastic Neoplasms

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Induction Chemotherapy, Consolidation Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, run by Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein at 1 site in Brazil.

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 17 inclusion and 16 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 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 Brazil. 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?

Prevalence of molecular and cytogenetic abnormalities (time frame: 2 years). 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 2016.
