  • Ages 61 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Both males and females ≥ 61 years of age
  • A clinical diagnosis of de novo, non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) confirmed by greater than 20% blasts in peripheral blood or on diagnostic bone marrow biopsy who have completed intensive induction chemotherapy and are confirmed in complete remission #1 (defined by < 5% myeloblasts on recovery bone marrow biopsy, Absolute neutrophil count > 1000/uL and platelets > 100x103/uL) and able to receive HiDAC consolidation #1
  • Patients on the prospective arm must be willing to have labs/clinic visits at UF Health Shands approximately every 48 hours +/- 24 hours after discharge from chemotherapy admission to be included. If prospective subjects cannot be followed at the UF site then telephone visits are allowed to follow for toxicity and transfusions. Records can be requested from subject's local physician office.
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject and the subject agrees to comply with all the study-related procedures. For subjects on the historical arm, there will be a waiver of informed consent (as these patients may be deceased or not be available for retrospective consent).

Who cannot join

  • Age < 61 years
  • Patients unable to provide informed consent for prospective arm
  • Secondary AML (documented history of antecedent hematological disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome or therapy-related AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis
  • Patients receiving, received, or who will receive a FLT3 inhibitor
  • Patients receiving, received, or who will receive an IDH1 or IDH2 inhibitor
  • Serum creatinine greater than 2 mg/dL
Show all 10Show fewer
  • History of any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of protocol therapy or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or that puts the subject at high risk for treatment complications, in the opinion of the treating physician
  • Prisoners or subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated, or subjects who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical illness
  • For historical arm, subjects will be excluded if adequate data is not available in electronic medical record (e.g., if patient was followed by their local oncologist between chemotherapy cycles and labs/transfusions/clinic notes, etc. are not available)
  • Karnofsky performance status of 40 or less at study entry

What participants receive

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

  • CytarabineDrug

    Also called Cytosar, cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C

    Subjects on this arm will prospectively receive consolidation therapy with cytarabine. Subjects will be treated with 1000 mg/m2 cytarabine intravenously every 12 hours on Days 1-3 of each consolidation cycle. Subjects will receive up to four consolidation cycles.

  • CytarabineDrug

    Also called Cytosar, cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C

    Subjects on this arm will have received consolidation therapy with cytarabine between 2/1/2017 and 2/1/2019. Subjects will have received 1000 mg/m2 cytarabine intravenously every 12 hours on days 1, 3, and 5 of each consolidation cycle and will have received up to 4 consolidation cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of Neutropenia

    Determine the duration of neutropenia in older patients with de novo AML after consolidation chemotherapy with HiDAC 123, as compared to historical controls treated with HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of Thrombocytopenia

    Determine the duration of thrombocytopenia in older patients with de novo AML after consolidation chemotherapy with HiDAC 123, as compared to historical controls treated with HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Incidence of Documented Infections

    Compare the incidence of documented infections (bloodstream infection, pneumonia, invasive fungal infection, Clostridium difficile infection, typhlitis, and febrile neutropenia) in patients receiving HiDAC 123 and HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 5 months

  3. Number of Transfusions

    Compare the number of red blood cell and platelet transfusions per cycle in patients receiving HiDAC 123 and HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Readmission Rates and Length of Readmission Stay

    Compare the incidence of readmission and the length of readmission stay in patients receiving HiDAC 123 and HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 5 months

  5. Time to Next Treatment

    Compare the time to next treatment (next chemotherapy cycle, transplant, etc.) in patients receiving HiDAC 123 and HiDAC 135.

    Measured: 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cytarabine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University of Florida 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 16 Jan 2025. 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 16 Jan 2025). 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?

Duration of Neutropenia (time frame: 5 months). 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 16 Jan 2025.
