The Effect of G-CSF on MRD After Induction Therapy in Newly Diagnosed AML

Phase 2
Conditions
Minimal Residual Disease
Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Drug: G-SCF
Registration Number
NCT03665480
Lead Sponsor
Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
Brief Summary

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is konwn to have no significant effect on leukemia stem cells and has been widely used in the patients with agranulocytosis after chemotherapy. Minimal residual disease (MRD), an index for early treatment response, plays an important role in prognostic prediction. Numbers of data have shown MRD at day 14 after induction therapy significantly predicts prognosis. However, the retrospetive data from the investigators showed that patients with G-CSF treatment after induction had higher MRD at day 14 but not significantly different at day 28, suggesting that G-CSF might work on the differenciation of hemapoetic stem cells and increase MRD levels at day 14. In this multicenter prospective randomized controlled study, the effect of G-CSF on MRD after induction therapy in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evaluated.

Detailed Description

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is konwn to have no significant effect on leukemia stem cells and has been widely used in the patients with agranulocytosis after chemotherapy. Minimal residual disease (MRD), an good index for early treatment response, plays an important role in prognostic prediction. Numbers of data have shown MRD at day 14 after induction therapy significantly predicts prognosis. However, the retrospetive data from the investigators showed that patients with G-CSF treatment after induction had higher MRD at day 14 but not significantly different at day 28,suggesting that G-CSF might work on the differenciation of hemapoetic stem cells and increase MRD level at day 14. In this multicenter prospective study, the investigators randomizedly divide all participants with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) into G-CSF treatment group and G-SCF-free group. In G-CSF treatment group, all participants are treated with G-CSF at the dose of 5ug/kg pre day until neutrophil higher than 0.5 g/L or 14 days from day three after induction therapy. MRD is monitored at day 14 and 28 with flow cytometry and quantity PCR if a fusion gene is available in both G-CSF treatment and G-CSF-free groups. Comparision of the difference of MRD levels between the two groups is performed to evaluate the effect of G-CSF on MRD.

MRD is monitored at day 14 and 28 with flow cytometry and quantity PCR if a fusion gene is available.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MRD1Day 14 after induction

MRD level is detested by flow cytometry at the day 14 after induction therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
OS rate2 years

OS is the abbreviation of overall survival. OS rate is caculated as the ratio of survival participants versus total participants during the 2-year follow-up after diagosis.

MRD2Day 28 after induction

MRD level is detested by flow cytometry at the day 28 after induction therapy.

DFS rate2 years

DFS is the abbreviation of disease-free survival. DFS rate is caculated as the ratio of participants with continuous complete remission (CR) versus total participants abtaining CR after induction during the 2-year follow-up after diagosis.

Infection incidence30 days after induction

The incidence of infection after induction

Time for neutropenia30 days after induction

The lasting time for the patients with neutropenia after induction therapy
