What is being measured

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

  1. Disease free Survival (DFS)

    Disease-free survival (DFS) at 2 and 5 years. Events for DFS are death and first relapse (either AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) recurrence) and death; observations are censored at the date of last contact if alive and disease-free. DFS will be calculated from the date of achievement of CR to the date of 1st relapse or death. Patients still alive in 1st CR will be censored at the moment of last visit/contact.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hospitalizations

    Number and length of hospitalizations in the post-remission period.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) at 2 and 5 years. Event for OS in both arms is death and patients are censored at the date of last contact if alive

    Measured: 2 and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vidaza 100 milligram (mg) injection in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Associazione Qol-one at 18 sites in Italy.

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 8 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 8 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Disease free Survival (DFS) (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 8 Jun 2023.
