Study information

Study designRandomized, phase II study
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designNon randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymHOVON 74 ALL
Study objectivesThe hypothesis to be tested is that arm A and/or arm B are feasible.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
InterventionRelapsed ALL patients under the age of 71 years will be registered and randomized to receive:
Arm A: prednisone and methotrexate in the pre-phase and thereafter two remission induction courses of alemtuzumab 30 mg

Arm B: prednisone and methotrexate in the pre-phase and thereafter two remission induction courses of alemtuzumab 60 mg
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Alemtuzumab, prednisone and methotrexate
Primary outcome measure1. Percentage of patients that reach a complete remission (CR) on induction cycle I in each arm
2. Percentage of patients with severe toxicity on induction cycle I in each arm
Secondary outcome measures1. Toxicity profile related to each treatment step and intervals between treatment steps
2. Event-free survival (i.e. time from registration until no CR on protocol, relapse or death, whichever comes first). Event-free survival for patients without a CR is set at one day.
3. Disease-free survival (i.e. time from achievement of CR to date of relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first)
4. Overall survival measured from time of registration
Overall study start date15/05/2006
