SD vs. NSD Therapy in Elderly AML

November 6, 2018 updated by: Qifa Liu, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University

Comparisiom of Standard (SD) Therapy and Non-standard (NSD) Therapy in Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

It is known that treatment outcome could be positively associated with treatment intensity. However, tolerance of chemotherapy decreases in the elder, some patients could not tolerate standard (SD) therapy and even died of side effect, and overall survival (OS) might not be prolonged. Whether all elder acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients could benefit from SD therapy, or some should receive reduced-intensity therapy or even only supporting care remains controvertal. In this multi-center study, we are going to evaluate the benefit of SD and non-SD (NSD) therapy in elder AML patients.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

It is known that treatment outcome could be positively associated with treatment intensity. However, tolerance of chemotherapy decreases in the elder, some patients could not tolerate standard (SD) therapy and even died of side effect, and overall survival (OS) might not be prolonged. Whether all elder acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients could benefit from SD therapy, or some should receive reduced-intensity therapy or even only supporting care remains controvertal. SD therapy is definited as the treatment regimen must follow NCCN guildline and chemotherapy intensity could not be reduced. Non-SD (NSD) therapy is definited as patients receiving reduced-intensity therapy or only supporting care. In this multi-center study, we are going to evaluate the benefit of SD and NSD therapy in elder AML patients.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

60 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Newly diagnosed AML exclusive of APL with age range from 60 years old to 75 ages old. Patients are expect to live longger than 3 months.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Newly diagnosed AML exclusive of APL; Age from 60 years old to 75 years old.

Exclusion Criteria:

Any abnormality in a vital sign (e.g., organ function failure, serious infection ) Patients with any conditions not suitable for the trial (investigators' decision)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
SD therapy
SD therapy is definited as the treatment regimen must follow NCCN guildline and chemotherapy intensity could not be reduced.
NSD therapy
Non-standard (NSD) therapy is definited as patients receiving reduced-intensity therapy or only supporting care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 2 years
The time from AML diagnosis to patients death or last folloeing-up.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relapse-free survival
Time Frame: 2 years
The time from AML patients obtaining CR to patients relapse or last folloeing-up.
2 years
Relapse incidence
Time Frame: 2 years
Relapsed patients account for all the diagnosed AML patients.
2 years
Treatment-related mortality
Time Frame: 1 year
The incidence of patients dying of treatment related complication.
1 year

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 8, 2018

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
