Long-term Safety Study of Arsenic Trioxide in Newly Diagnosed, Low-to-intermediate Risk Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

Recruiting
Conditions
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03751917
Lead Sponsor
Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto
Brief Summary

The therapeutic advantage of the association of ATRA + Arsenic Trioxide is more favorable and manageable as compared to ATRA + chemotherapy. Nevertheless, at present, there is not enough information on the incidence of long-term side effects.

This study, as well as other similar studies conducted around Europe, will focus on following patients treated with this therapy on a long-term basis.

Once all studies in Europe will be concluded, all data will be analyzed together.

Detailed Description

Considering the clear therapeutic advantage associated with ATRA+ATO combination therapy and the more favorable and overall manageable safety profile compared to ATRA+chemotherapy, the benefits of the combination in the first-line indication do appear to overweigh the risks.

However, no information regarding the actual adverse event (AE) incidence and the long-term toxicity of ATRA+ATO is available at present and therefore, as a postmarketing commitment, TEVA (the Company holding the Marketing Authorisation of Trisenox® (Arsenic trioxide)) is setting up a long-term safety cohort study of Trisenox in newly diagnosed low- to intermediate-risk APL patients retrospectively analyzing data from APL disease registries all around Europe.

As a result, this observational study is part of the retrospective PASS Study (A Post-Authorisation Long-Term Retrospective Safety Cohort Study of Arsenic Trioxide in First Line Low-to Intermediate-Risk Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia Patients) that will use data from multinational APL disease registries in Europe. The present study will focus on Italian patients.
