About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Trial of Systematic Versus Response-adapted Timed-Sequential Induction in Patients With Core Binding Factor (CBF) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Core binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemias (AML) include AMLs carrying the t(8;21) translocation as well as AMLs carrying either the inversion of chromosome 16 or translocation t(16;16). CBF-AMLs are characterized by their high sensitivity to standard chemotherapeutical agents, especially to cytarabine when administered as high-dose bolus infusions, and thus by a relative good prognosis. However, relapse rates are still comprised between 30 and 50% in these patients, even if overall survival may reach approximately 65% due to the potential salvage of late relapses.

The primary purpose of the protocol is to compare two modalities of timed-sequential induction in order to improve the results of the treatment of CBF-AML patients. This protocol also includes the biological characterization of the heterogeneity of these diseases (gene mutation and transcription profiles), as well as a centralized minimal residual disease monitoring and centralized evaluation of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms.

Core binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemias (AML) include AMLs carrying the t(8;21) translocation as well as AMLs carrying either the inversion of chromosome 16 or translocation t(16;16). CBF-AMLs are characterized by their high sensitivity to standard chemotherapeutical agents, especially to cytarabine when administered as high-dose bolus infusions, and thus by a relative good prognosis. However, relapse rates are still comprised between 30 and 50% in these patients, even if overall survival may reach approximately 65% due to the potential salvage of late relapses. Initial high white blood cell count, activating mutations of cKit, Ras, and FLT3 genes, and persistence of high minimal residual disease (MRD) levels (as evidenced by AML1-ETO or CBFb-MYH11 specific RQ-PCR tools) are the main bad-prognostic factors in patients with CBF-AML.

This project includes a new single French protocol to treat patients with CBF-AML who represent approximately 15% of all AML patients. This common protocol has been elaborated by the two main French cooperative groups for adult AML (ALFA and GOELAMS). In addition to a unique specific therapeutical strategy, this protocol includes the biological characterization of the heterogeneity of these diseases (gene mutation and transcription profiles), as well as a centralized MRD monitoring and centralized evaluation of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms. This project which is well-positioned in the international competition, will use many platforms of the POLECANCER with the following objectives : 1) to improve the results of the treatment of CBF-AML patients; 2) to organize a French clinical and biological network on CBF-AML with the aim to test new targeted therapeutical agents (tyrosine kinase and/or farnesyl transferase inhibitors) in the next future.

TREATMENT DESIGN Induction course Systematic timed-sequential induction (arm A) DAUNORUBICINE (DNR): 60 mg/m2/day IV (30 min), Day 1, 2, and 3 CYTARABINE (AraC): 500 mg/m2/day Continuous infusion, Day 1 to 3 DAUNORUBICINE (DNR): 35 mg/m2/day IV (30 min), Day 8 and 9 CYTARABINE (AraC): 1 gr/m2/12 h IV (2h), Day 8, 9, and 10 Response-adapted timed-sequential induction (arm G) DAUNORUBICINE (DNR): 60 mg/m2/dayIV (30 min), Day 1, 2, and 3 CYTARABINE (AraC): 200 mg/m2/dayContinuous infusion, Day 1 to 7

Peripheral blood and bone marrow evaluation at Day 15. The following second induction course will be administered in patients with persistent marrow disease at Day 15 :

DAUNORUBICINE (DNR): 35 mg/m2/day IV (30 min), Day 16 and 17 CYTARABINE (AraC)1 gr/m2/12 h IV (2h), Day 16, 17, and 18 Persistent marrow disease at Day 15 is defined by more than 10% leukemic blasts in a non aplastic or non very hypoplastic bone marrow aspiration sample.

Salvage course In patients not reaching CR after the first induction course (either SI or TSI), a salvage course will be administered. Salvage therapy should not be initiated before Day 35 of arm A and Day 42 of arm G.

CYTARABINE (AraC) :3 gr/m2/12h IV (2h), Day 1, 3, 5, and 7 AMSACRINE : 100 mg/m2/day IV (30 min), Day 5 to 7 G-CSF lenograstim : from Day 8 until myeloid recovery (> 500 PMN/µL)

Consolidation cycles Three monthly cycles of consolidation will be administered in all patients reaching hematological CR after induction or induction + salvage.

CYTARABINE (AraC): 3 g/m2/12h IV (2h), Day 1, 3, and 5 G-CSF lenograstim : from Day 8 until myeloid recovery (> 500 PMN/µL)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Chemotherapy (DAUNORUBICINE-CYTARABINE) in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 20 Dec 2013. 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 France. 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?

The primary objective of the study is to increase the Event-free Survival (EFS) (time frame: during the 60 months). 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 NCT00428558, which also lists 4 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 20 Dec 2013.
