Study information

Study designMulticentre, randomised, active controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymHOVON 29 AML/SAKK 30/95
Study objectivesThe hypotheses to be tested are that:
1. The outcome in arm B is better than in arm A
2. Following Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant (PBSCT) is better than following Cycle III chemotherapy
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)
InterventionPatients (except AML-M3 or t[15;17]) will be randomised on entry between:

Arm A:
Cycle I: idarubicin + cytarabin
Cycle II: amsacrin + cytarabin

Arm B:
Cycle I: idarubicin + cytarabin + G-CSF
Cycle II: amsacrin + cytarabin + G-CSF

Patients with AML-M3 or t(15;17) will receive arm A treatment. Patients in Complete Remission (CR) with good risk will proceed to cycle III: Mitoxantrone + VP-16. Patients in CR with poor risk and a HLA matched donor will proceed to Allo BMT. Patients in CR with poor risk without a HLA matched donor will be randomised between cycle III chemotherapy and Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide marrow ablative treatment and PBSCT.

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexBoth
Target number of participants1105
Key inclusion criteriaFirst randomisation:
1. Patients with newly diagnosed de novo Acute Myelocytic Leukaemia (AML) (including all cytological subtypes M0-M7)
2. Age 15 - 60 years inclusive
3. Patients have given informed consent
4. Leucocytosis (White Blood Cells [WBC] greater than 30 x 10^9/l) is not an exclusion criterion, but it will require postponement of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) administration until WBC have declined to 20 x 10^9/l on chemotherapy

Patients after completion of CYCLE II and peripheral blood stem cell collection are eligible for second randomisation if:
1. Complete remission continues (marrow cytology and blood evaluation)
2. Poor risk status according to criteria of Appendix III
3. Not eligible for genotypically Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matched allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)
4. Absence of congestive heart failure or pulmonary disease
5. Serum bilirubin as parameter of liver function abnormalities not elevated above 3 x normal value
6. Number of blood cells collected ('transplant'; PBSCT) being at least 2 x 10^8 nucleated cells/kg or 10 x 10^4 Colony-Forming Units Granulocyte-Macrophage (CFU-GM) per kg or 2 x 10^6 CD34-positive cells per kg. In case of no or insufficient PBSCT, an adequate autologous marrow graft must have been collected
7. Performance status of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 0, 1 or 2 at time of randomisation
8. Informed consent
Key exclusion criteriaFirst randomisation:
1. Patients with a concurrent active malignancy, except stage I cervix carcinoma and basocellular carcinoma
2. Patients previously treated with chemotherapy
3. Leukaemia following from a documented myelodysplasia with a duration of more than 6 months
4. Blastic crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia or leukaemia developing from myeloproliferative diseases (e.g. polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis)
5. Renal or liver function abnormalities i.e. creatinine and bilirubin of more than 3 x normal value, except if directly attributable to the leukaemia (high serum lysosymes, hyperuricemia, leukaemic cell infiltration)
6. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive serology
7. Patients with severe cardiac, pulmonary or neurologic disease
8. Pregnancy
