Scientific title
Study objectives	To compare ABCM for plateau induction with alpha IFN maintenance vs. a three-phase regimen of C-VAMP, high dose melphalan (with autologous bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cell support as appropriate) and alpha IFN maintenance. To compare toxicity profiles in the two arms, to address the issue of quality of life, to address the issue of health economics, to investigate cellular changes by means of linked studies of morphology, phenotyping and cytogenetics before and after treatment and at relapse.
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Leukaemia
Intervention	ABCM for plateau induction with alpha Interferon (IFN) maintenance/a three-phase regimen of C-VAMP, high dose melphalan (with autologous bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cell support as appropriate) and alpha IFN maintenance
