| Scientific title | International Randomised Phase III Clinical Trial in Children with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia - Incorporating an Embedded Dose Finding Study for Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Combination with Induction Chemotherapy |
| Study acronym | MyeChild 01 |
| Study objectives | Study aims: 1. To establish which number of doses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (up to a maximum of 3 doses) is tolerated and can be safety delivered in combination with cytarabine plus mitoxantrone or liposomal daunorubicin in induction 2. To compare mitoxantrone (anthracenedione) and cytarabine with liposomal daunorubicin (anthracycline) & cytarabine as induction therapy 3. To compare a single dose of gemtuzumab ozogamicin with the optimum tolerated number of doses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (identified by the dose-finding study) when combined with induction chemotherapy 4. To compare two consolidation regimens: high dose cytarabine (HD Ara-C) and fludarabine & cytarabine (FLA) in standard risk patients 5. To compare the toxicity and effectiveness of two haemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) conditioning regimens of different intensity: conventional myeloablative conditioning (MAC) with busulfan/cyclophosphamide and reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) with fludarabine/busulfan |

| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg), liposomal daunorubicin, mitoxantrone, fludarabine, cytarabine, busulfan, cyclophosphamide |
| Primary outcome measure | Gemtuzumab ozogamicin dose finding study: Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) are evaluated up to day 45 post course 1 and course 2 of induction chemotherapy. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Complete remission (R1 and R2) is evaluated and presented after course 1 and 2 or treatment 2. Relapse Free Survival (R3) is determined as time from randomisation 3 to first relapse or death 3. Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (all randomisations) is evaluated as time from randomisation to the relevant question of relapse 4. Days in hospital after each course of treatment (all randomisations) is evaluated once all patients have completed treatment 5. Death in complete remission (R1, R2 and R3) is evaluated as the time from randomisation to date of death from any cause in patients who achieved CR 6. Event Free Survival (R1, R2 and R3) is determined as time from randomisation to the first event 7. Nature, incidence and severity of adverse events (Gemtuzumab ozogamicin dose finding study) are evaluated by day 45 post course 1 and course 2 8. Responses measured by bone marrow assessment (Gemtuzumab ozogamicin dose finding study) on day 21-45 post day 1 of study drugs 9. Event Free Survival (R2) is determined as time from randomisation 2 to the 1st event 10. Gonadal function (R4) is evaluated at 1 year post-transplant and at the end of follow-up 11. Early Treatment Related Adverse Reactions (R4) is measured as incidence by day 100 post-transplant of grade 3-5 toxicity 12. (R4) Relapse Free Survival (R4) is determined as time from Randomisation 4 to the first relapse or death 13. Incidence of bilirubin of grade 3 of higher (R2 and R4) is evaluated 30 days after end of trial treatment 14. Incidence of cardiotoxicity (R1, R2 and R3) is evaluated 30 days after end of trial treatment 15. Incidence of mixed chimerism at day 100 post-transplant (R4) is evaluated at day 100 post-transplant 16. Incidence of toxicities (all randomisations) is evaluated 30 days after end of trial treatment 17. Incidence of Veno-Occlusive Disease(R2 and R4) is evaluated 30 days after end of trial treatment 18. Event Free Survival (R1) is determined as time from randomisation one to the first event 19. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) clearance after course 1 and 2 (R1 and R2) is evaluated after course 1 and 2 of treatment 20. Overall survival (all randomisations) is determined as time from randomisation to death from any cause or date last seen for patients alive at end of trial 21. Reasons for failure to achieve complete remission (R1 and R2) is evaluated after course 1 and 2 of treatment 22. Clearance and Volume of Distribution (Serum pharmacokinetic parameters of gemtuzumab ozogamicin) at multiple sample time points during course 1 23. Time to haematological recovery (all randomisations) is evaluated by day 45 post course 1 and course 2.; 24. Treatment Related Mortality (R4) is evaluated as time in days between randomisation and death (considered related to the transplant) |
