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The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.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

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Experimental: Treatment - Induction will consist of one course of cytarabine and mitoxantrone. Patients achieving a complete or partial response by the end of induction will start intensification. Intensification will consist of one course of chemotherapy (Cytarabine (Ara-C), Etoposide (VP-16), Filgrastim (G-CSF)). Patients who do not attain a CNS remission following the completion of intensification therapy, or who develop recurrence of CNS disease and have not previously received radiation therapy involving the central nervous system should receive craniospinal radiotherapy. Continuation Therapy: cladribine (2CdA), Etoposide.

Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in first relapse or who did not achieve first remission.
