About this study

In this open-label, randomized, prospective clinical trial, newly-diagnosed AML patients will be randomized into 2 groups. In the experimental arm, patients receive DA induction regimen with intermediate dose of cytarabine. In the control arm, patients receive DA regimen with standard dose of cytarabine.The efficacy of induction therapy containing intermediate dose of cytarabine is evaluated and adverse events associated with treatment are recorded.The primary end point is overall survival.

Read the detailed description

In this open-label, randomized, prospective clinical trial, newly-diagnosed AML patients will be randomized into 2 groups. In the experimental arm, patients receive DA induction regimen with intermediate dose of cytarabine at at a dose of 100mg/㎡/d on day 1-4 and 1g/㎡/Q12h on day5-7. In the control arm, patients receive DA regimen with standard dose of cytarabine at a dose of 100mg/㎡/d on day 1-7. Patients receive consolidation therapy containing high-dose cytarabine after achieved complete remission. Stem-cell transplantation is permitted for patients with intermediate- or poor-risk disease. The efficacy of induction therapy containing intermediate dose of cytarabine is evaluated and adverse events associated with treatment are recorded.The primary end point is overall survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival Rate (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: Within 5 years after randomization

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Complete Remission Rate

    Measured: Within 2 months after randomization

  2. Event-Free Survival Rate

    Measured: Within 5 years after randomization

  3. Relapse-Free Survival Rate (RFS)

    Measured: Within 5 years after randomization

  4. Cumulative incidence of relapse

    Measured: Within 5 years after randomization

  5. Early Mortality

    Measured: within 45 days after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Daunomycin and Cytarabine (DA Regimen) and Daunomycin and Cytarabine (Intermediate Dose of DA Regimen) in people with AML, run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 15 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 Rate (OS) (time frame: Within 5 years after randomization). 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 30 May 2025.
