About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Measurable Residual Disease in Intensively Treated Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as Surrogate Endpoint for Survival

Objectives To demonstrate that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival and thus an early read-out for drug efficacy Study design Surrogate endpoint trial to establish that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival

Read the detailed description

Acute myeloid leukemia is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder with an incidence of 3 to 4 per 100 000 men and women per year and a median age at diagnosis of about 70 years. Prognosis, especially in older patients, has remained very poor. In patients considered suitable for intensive chemotherapy, the combination of an anthracycline and cytarabine remains the standard of care. For patients achieving a complete remission (CR), postremission therapy (PRT) ranging from chemotherapy to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is required; intensive PRT is still under debate in older patients. Beyond pre-treatment genetics-based risk stratification, measurable residual disease (MRD) during treatment and follow up emerges as an important prognostic factor in first CR. Furthermore, MRD may provide a tool for a read-out of therapeutic efficacy. In this diagnostic meta-study the investigators intend to measure MRD using multiparameter flow cytometry across up-front randomized clinical trials which in total will accrue more than 1000 patients. According to the leukemia-associated phenotype at diagnosis or the different-from-normal approach, MRD will be assessed early (after induction) and late (after consolidation) during treatment. The aim of the study is to show that levels of MRD measured early during treatment are closely related to overall survival and thus may serve as an early surrogate. There is a growing public demand that new, promising drugs are approved for therapy as rapidly as possible. Therefore, it is of great interest to obtain these approvals based on early biomarker endpoints such as MRD rather than on long-term survival endpoints.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) and Survival with respect to treatment effects

    MRD will be assessed using multiparameter flow cytometry early (after induction / salvage).

    Survival will be assessed continuously. After 3 and 6 years correlation between MRD and survival will be analysed with respect to treatment effects to assess if MRD may serve as surrogate endpoint.

    If levels of MRD measured early during treatment are closely related to overall survival and thus may serve as an early surrogate will be assessed yearly.

    Measured: after 3 and 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2022. 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 Germany. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study turned out no longer feasible). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Correlation between Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) and Survival with respect to treatment effects (time frame: after 3 and 6 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 13 Sep 2022.
