What participants receive

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

  • Ara-CDrug

    Also called Cytarabine, HiDAC

    Induction: 3000mg/m2 IV infusion for day 1 and day 5

    Mobilization: within 2 weeks of end of induction therapy - 2000mg/m2 as 2 hour IV infusion once every 12 hours for 3 days (6 doses total)

  • MitoxantroneDrug

    Induction: 30mg/m2 after the end of HiDAC day 1 and day 5

  • EtoposideDrug

    Also called VP-16

    Mobilization: 30mg/kg over 6 doses given once every 12 hours for 3 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to Induction Chemotherapy (CR or PR)

    Complete remission (CR): <5% bone marrow blasts with recovery of peripheral blood counts; complete cytogenetic remission, the disappearance of any pre-existing cytogenetic abnormality Partial remission (PR): >5% bone marrow blasts, but less than the pre-treatment blast percentage within the bone marrow Resistant disease (RD): no significant cytoreduction in bone marrow leukemic cells from pre-treatment levels Not evaluable (NE): patients who died during induction chemotherapy or who withdrew from follow-up before assessment could be made

    Measured: Day 28-40

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: Up to 2000 days

  3. Relapse-free Survival

    Relapse is defined as bone marrow blasts >5% if the patient had achieved a complete remission, or the recurrence of any clonal cytogenetic abnormality.

    Measured: Up to 2000 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Feasibility of Stem Cell Collection

    Feasibility is the ability to cryopreserve >=2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg

    Measured: 1-5 days from initiation of stem cell collection

  2. Numbers of Stem Cells Collected

    Measured: 1-5 days from initiation of stem cell collection

  3. Overall Survival in Patients Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

    Measured: Up to 817 days

  4. Disease-free Survival in Patients Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

    Measured: Up to 883 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ara-C, Mitoxantrone and Etoposide in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 11 Feb 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jun 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response to Induction Chemotherapy (CR or PR) (time frame: Day 28-40). The study lists 3 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 11 Feb 2014.
