"Geriatric Assessment Adapted" Therapy for Ph- ALL Elderly Patients
- Conditions
- Leukemia, Lymphoblastic, Acute
- Registration Number
- NCT00475280
- Brief Summary
This study aims at considering clinical heterogeneity of patients based on a "geriatric assessment" without taking into account the real age of the subject. This will allow physicians to adapt therapy according to three different groups of patients: frail, fit and intermediate and to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a therapy adapted to the different categories of patients.
- Detailed Description
Treatment:
1. Frail patients:
* Pretreatment with PDN
* Induction with Vinblastine and PDN
* Maintenance with MTX, 6-MP, VBL and PDN
2. Fit patients:
* Pretreatment with PDN
* Induction with VCR, DNR and PDN
* Consolidation with MTX, ARA-C and G-CSF
* Autologous transplantation
* Maintenance with MTX, 6-MP, VCR, and PDN
3. Intermediate patients:
* Pretreatment with PDN
* Induction with VCR, DNR and PDN
* Consolidation with MTX, ARA-C and G-CSF
* A second cycle of consolidation therapy
* Maintenance with MTX, 6-MP, VCR, and PDN
