Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trial

Official title: Risk-adapted, MRD-directed Therapy for Young Adults With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia. GIMEMA Protocol AML1310. EudraCT Number 2010-023809-36

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a risk-adapted, minimal-residual-disease directed therapy for young adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia has positive results in terms of overall survival at 24 months.

Clinical Trial Description

The general objective of this study is that of setting up a multicentre, risk-adapted study that relies on pre-treatment cytogenetic/genetic features and post-consolidation assessment of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) to establish the final risk assignment and treatment of younger (≤ 60 years) patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Aim of this clinical trial is to verify whether the delivery of a post remission therapy whose intensity is risk-driven will improve the outcome in terms of both increased anti-leukemic efficacy and reduced therapy-related toxicity.

All patients will receive induction and consolidation chemotherapy according to the Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto (GIMEMA) LAM99P protocol. After the first consolidation, patients belonging to the low-risk category (core binding factor positive AML without c-Kit mutations, NPM1 positive FLT3 negative AML) will receive autologous stem cell transplantation, patients with high-risk features (adverse-risk karyotype, FLT3-ITD mutations), will be assigned to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Patients with FLT3-TKD mutations or c-Kit mutated core binding factor positive AML and those belonging to the intermediate-risk karyotype category will be stratified according to MRD by flow cytometry and will receive risk-adapted treatment (autologous vs. allogeneic stem cell transplantation). All patients who meet the criteria for high-risk definition will be offered the allogeneic transplantation option regardless of the availability of a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) identical sibling. In fact, for those lacking a HLA identical sibling all the other sources of hematopoietic stem cells (matched unrelated donor from international registry, unrelated cord blood, family haploidentical donor) will be considered. Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be performed within 3 months from the end of consolidation therapy. ;
