A Phase 3 study testing gemtuzumab ozogamicin and ATRA plus 6-MP and MTX in people with Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 study will compare the 2 treatments in intermediate and high-risk APL patients and assess their efficacy in achieving first hematological complete remission and molecular remission. (time frame: 5 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 20 Aug 2009.
