HCT Versus CT in Elderly AML

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Procedure: hematopoietic cell transplantation
Drug: Non-Transplant treatment approach for consolidation
Registration Number
NCT00766779
Lead Sponsor
European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
Brief Summary

A study comparing conventional chemotherapy to low dose total body irradiation-based conditioning and hematopoietic cell transplantation from related and unrelated donors as consolidation therapy for older Patients with AML in first Complete Remission.

Detailed Description

The majority of patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) enter complete remission following induction therapy, but relapse despite consolidation and maintenance therapy. In response, post-remission treatment has been progressively intensified and results improved either by high-dose post-remission therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or by allogeneic HCT, which has the highest curative potential for patients with AML. Given the toxicity of dose intensification and of allogeneic HCT, however, only younger patients profit from this treatment approach
