Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleAcute Myeloid Leukaemia - High Risk (AML-HR)
Study acronymAML-HR
Study objectivesTo improve the outcome of patients with high risk AML by randomised evaluation of:
1. The standard ADE (Ara-C,daunorubicin, etoposide) reinduction regimen versus the newer FLA (fludarabine, high-dose Ara-C) regimen
2. The addition of growth factor (G-CSF) during and after chemotherapy.
3. The addition of retinoic acid (ATRA) during and after chemotherapy. Patients may be entered into all three randomisations, any combination of two randomisations, or just one randomisation. The therapeutic relevance of morphology, genetics and other features will also be investigated.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLeukaemia
InterventionThree randomised comparisons:
1. ADE versus FLA
2. Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) versus control
3. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) versus control

Follow-up until death.

Target sample size at registration600
Key inclusion criteria1. High risk acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (de novo or secondary, except acute promyelocytic leukemia [APL])
2. Suitable for intensive therapy
3. Informed consent given. High risk AML is defined as:
(a) Resistant disease (greater than 15% blasts in bone marrow) after one induction course
(b) Refractory disease (ie not in complete remission [CR]) after two or more induction courses
(c) Relapse from first CR (with more than 5% blasts in bone marrow)
(d) In complete or partial remission after one induction course but with adverse cytogenic abnormalities at diagnosis
Key exclusion criteria1. APL
2. Concurrent active malignancy
3. Blast transformation of CML
4. Relapse from second or greater CR
5. Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 millilitres per minute)
6. Pregnant, lactating or potentially fertile and not taking adequate contraceptive precautions
