Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) trial 12 (protocol for children)
ISRCTN ISRCTN64649191
DOI 10.1186/ISRCTN64649191
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00003436
EudraCT number
Public title Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) trial 12 (protocol for children)
Scientific title
Acronym AML 12
Serial number at source G8223452
Study hypothesis To compare two induction schedules (ADE and MAE) with respect to achievement and duration of remission, survival, toxicity and supportive care requirements; to compare four versus five course of treatment in total (where the final course is either chemotherapy or BMT) with respect to remission duration, relapse rates, deaths in remission and overall survival, to compare the value of allogeneic BMT vs. conventional chemotherapy with respect to remission duration, relapse rates, death in remission and overall survival, to reduce toxicity without compromising survival by restricting the number of patients receiving BMT.
To evaluate the therapeutic relevance of morphological, cytogenetic, molecular-genetic and immunophenotype assessments, quality of life assessment and economic evaluation and monitoring cardiac function with observation at trial entry, prior to each antracycline/anthracenedione-containing course, prior to allograft and within 4 weeks of the end of therapy.
