"Geriatric Assessment Adapted" Therapy for Ph- ALL Elderly Patients

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Leukemia, Lymphoblastic, Acute
Registration Number
NCT00475280
Lead Sponsor
Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto
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
