AML 12
Study hypothesis
To improve the outcome of patients with newly diagnosed AML by randomised evaluation of:
1. Standard dose (100 mg/m2 b.d.) versus higher dose (200mg/m2 b.d.) Ara-C within a DAT (daunorubicin, Ara-C, thioguanine) induction regimen (courses 1 and 2)
2. The addition of retinoic acid (ATRA) during and after induction chemotherapy (courses 1 and 2)
3. Four versus five courses of therapy in total (where the final course is either chemotherapy or transplant)
4. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (either allogenic or autologous) versus conventional chemotherapy as the final course (good risk patients should not be entered into this randomisation).
The therapeutic relevance of morphology, cytogenetics, molecular genetics and immunophenotype will also be investigated.
