Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia



Combination Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

For Condition: adult acute monocytic leukemia,adult acute myeloid leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): EORTC Leukemia Cooperative Group ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase III trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, interleukin-2, and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have acute myeloid leukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the overall survival rate in patients with acute myeloid leukemia treated with high-dose versus standard-dose cytarabine during induction. - Compare the disease-free survival rate in patients treated with or without interleukin-2 following consolidation and autologous peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplantation. - Compare the feasibility of these regimens in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients in the first randomization are stratified according to center, WBC (no greater than 25,000/mm^3 vs 25,000-99,000/mm^3 vs at least 100,000/mm^3), age (15 to 45 vs 46 to 60), and performance status (0-1 vs 2 vs 3). Patients in the second randomization are stratified according to center, first treatment arm (I vs II), number of induction courses to reach complete remission (CR), cytogenic/molecular genetic group at diagnosis (low vs high vs intermediate vs unknown), and autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation planned after consolidation (yes vs no). First randomization - Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms: - Arm I: Patients receive standard-dose cytarabine IV over 24 hours on days 1-10, etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5, and daunorubicin IV over 5 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5. - Arm II: Patients receive etoposide and daunorubicin as in arm I and high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. - Consolidation: When CR is reached, patients receive intermediate-dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours every 12 hours on days 1-6 and daunorubicin IV over 5 minutes prior to cytarabine on days 4, 5, and 6. - Harvest: Patients who achieve CR and are ineligible for allogeneic PBSC transplantation receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SQ) every 12 hours beginning 20 days after starting consolidation treatment and continuing until autologous PBSC are harvested. Autologous bone marrow is collected from patients with insufficient PBSC. Allogeneic PBSC are harvested for patients who have an HLA identical donor. Allogeneic bone marrow is harvested for high risk patients (under age 40) who have an unrelated bone marrow donor. - Transplant preparative chemotherapy: It is recommended that patients receive cyclophosphamide on 2 consecutive days and total body irradiation on 3 days OR busulfan on days -8, -7, -6, and -5 followed by cyclophosphamide on days -4 and -3. - Transplantation: PBSC or bone marrow is infused on day 0. Second randomization - Patients who achieve CR with full hematologic recovery but have no HLA identical donor are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms no earlier than day 22 after stem cell infusion. - Arm I: Patients receive interleukin-2 SQ once daily for 5 days. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive no further treatment. Patients are followed at 1, 4, and 13 months, then every 4 months for 3 years, and then every 6 months thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,320 patients will be accrued for this study over 3.3 years.
