Scientific titlePhase II randomised trial of 5-Azacitidine versus 5-Azacitidine in combination with Vorinostat in patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia ineligible for intensive chemotherapy
Study acronymRAvVA
Study objectivesThis is a multicentre, open-label randomised phase II trial, comparing azacitidine monotherapy with combined azacitidine and vorinostat in patients with relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).
Ethics approval(s)NRES – West Midlands Research Ethics Committee, 12/WM/0087; First MREC approval date 21/05/2012
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Haematological Oncology; Disease: Leukaemia (acute myeloid)
InterventionPatients will be randomised on 1:1 ratio to treatment. It is anticipated 80 patients will be randomised to receive azacitidine monotherapy and 80 patients will be randomised to receive azacitidine and vorinostat, combined therapy.

Azacitidine, azacitidine (75 mg/m2) subcutaneous (s.c.) x 7 per cycle on days 1-5, 8, 9 of each 28-day cycle

Azacitidine + vorinostat:
Azacitidine (75 mg/m2) s.c. x 7 per cycle on days 1-5, 8, 9 of each 28-day cycle
Vorinostat (300mg) twice a day (bid) x 7 per cycle on days 3-9 of each 28-day cycle
