Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Treatment: Drugs - asparaginase
Treatment: Drugs - daunorubicin hydrochloride
Treatment: Drugs - cytarabine
Treatment: Drugs - thioguanine
Treatment: Drugs - etoposide
Other interventions - laboratory biomarker analysis

Experimental: Treatment (combination chemotherapy) - INDUCTION THERAPY COURSE I: Patients receive cytarabine IT on day 1 and cytarabine IV continuously over 96 hours, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV continuously, and oral thioguanine BID on days 1-4. COURSE II: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours BID on days 1, 2, 8, and 9 and asparaginase (IM) on days 2 and 9.

COURSE III: Patients receive treatment as in course I. COURSE IV: Patients receive cytarabine IV, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV, and oral thioguanine as in course I

INTENSIFICATION THERAPY: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 168 hours on days 1-7 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Summary
Brief summary
This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with Down syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
