patients with CR after the first course of induction therapy (DLAAG) will continue to receive 1 cycle of consolidation therapy, while those with therapy failure will continue the second course of induction therapy. If CR is not achieved, quit the study.
Patients who achieve CR after induction therapy will be in accordance with the guidelines, such as the proposed active treatment of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Receives: Drug: Decitabine; Drug: Cytarabine; Drug: All-transretinoic acid; Drug: G-CSF |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete Response Rate (CR)
Morphologic CR - patient independent of transfusions
- Absolute neutrophil count(ANC) >1000/ Microliter(mcL)
- Platelets ≥100,000/mcL
- No residual evidence of extramedullary disease
Cytogenetic CR - cytogenetics normal (in those with previously abnormal cytogenetics)
Molecular CR - molecular studies negative
CR with incomplete blood cells count recovery(CRi) - There are some clinical trials, particularly those that focus on the elderly or those with antecedent myelodysplasia, that include a variant of complete response referred to as CRi. This has been defined as <5% marrow blasts, either ANC <1000/mcL or platelets <100,000/mcL, and transfusion independence but with persistence of cytopenia (usually thrombocytopenia).
Measured: at the end of every course(about 4 weeks)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Early death rate
The rate of early death within 30 days
Measured: the death rate after treating Day1 to Day30
Leukemia free survival (LFS)
Morphologic leukemia-free state Bone marrow <5% blasts in an aspirate with spicules No blasts with Auer rods or persistence of extramedullary disease
Measured: from enrolling to the end of 2-year following up
Overall survival(OS)
The time from the date of enrolling to the date of death due to any reasons or the last following date
Measured: from enrolling to the end of 2-year following up
The rate of adverse reaction the rate of adverse reaction
the rate of adverse reaction, according to Standard for World Health Organization(WHO) acute and subacute toxicity
Measured: from enrolling to the end of 2-year following up
Duration of hospitalization
The time from the date of be hospitalized to the date of be discharged
Measured: from enrolling to the end of 2-year following up
The rate of relapse
Relapse following complete response is defined as reappearance of leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood or the finding of more than 5% blasts in the bone marrow, not attributable to another cause (eg, bone marrow regeneration after consolidation therapy) or extramedullary relapse
Measured: from enrolling to the end of 2-year following up

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Decitabine, Cytarabine and All-transretinoic acid in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by Shanghai Tong Ren Hospital at 6 sites 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 9 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites 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 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ligen Liu (18017337037, llg3532@shtrhospital.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Complete Response Rate (CR) (time frame: at the end of every course(about 4 weeks)). 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 29 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
