| Local reference number(s) | MRC AML12 (modified) |
| Public title | Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) Trial 12 (modified) for patients aged under 60 |
| Scientific title |
|
| Acronym | N/A |
| Disease/condition/study domain | Leukaemia (acute) |
| Study hypothesis | Added as of 07/03/2007: To compare two methods of administering all-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) to patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL, FAB AML-M3) - either ATRA for 5 days only before the introduction of trial induction chemotherapy or continuous ATRA during induction chemotherapy until complete remission is achieved (or for a maximum of 60 days) with respect to differences in haemorrhagic complications, induction deaths, remission rate, remission duration and overall survival. To evaluate the role of ATRA in correcting the coagulopathy associated with APL. - To investigate the two methods of using ATRA therapy with respect to the sequence of change of laboratory parameters of coagulation and thrombolysis, and blood product usage. To evaluate cytogenetic and molecular monitoring of disease status with reference to the prediction of morphological leukaemia relapse. |

| Target number of participants | Not provided at time of registration |
| Interventions | Four randomised comparisons: At diagnosis: 1. S-DAT versus H-DAT 2.
