Trial Information

Risk Adapted Treatment for Primary AML in Adults up to the Age of 60 Years.


Induction chemotherapy: idarubicin (12mg/m2/day intravenous), intermediate-dose cytarabine
(500mg/m2/12h, intravenous) and etoposide (100mg/m2/day, intravenous) in 3+7+3 schedule.
This induction therapy is repeated if complete remission (CR) is not achieved after the
first course of treatment.

Consolidation therapy: mitoxantrone (12mg/m2/day, intravenous, days 4, 5 and 6) and
intermediate-dose cytarabine (500mg/m2/12h from day 1 to 6).

Risk-stratification according to cytogenetics, courses to CR and availability of an
HLA-identical sibling:

- Patients in the favorable cytogenetics group [t(8;21), inv(16) or t(16;16)] are treated
with high-dose cytarabine (3g/m2/12h, intravenous, days 1, 3 and 5).

- Patients in intermediate cytogenetics group (normal karyotype and a single course to
achieve the CR) receive an autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant,
regardless of having an HLA-identical sibling.

- The remaining patients are considered in the high-risk group and are treated with
autologous or allogeneic PBSC transplantation depending on the availability of a
sibling donor. In allotransplants, CD34+ cell selection of hematopoietic cells is
performed.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients with newly diagnosed AML, classified by FAB criteria

- Age not superior to 60 years

- Verbal informed consent for the chemotherapy and written for the mobilization and
stem cell transplantation

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients treated previously for its AML with other chemotherapy different from
hydroxyurea

- Acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3)

- Chronic myeloid leukemia in blastic crisis

- Leukemias appearing after other myeloproliferative processes

- Leukemias surviving after myelodysplastic syndromes with more than 6 months of
evolution

- Presence of other neoplastic disease in activity

- Secondary AML which had appeared after cured malignancies (for instance Hodgkin
disease) and those who are still exposed to alkylant agents or radiation

- Renal and hepatic abnormal function with creatinine values and/or bilirubin two times
higher than the normal threshold, except when this alteration could be attributed to
the leukemia

- Patients with a fraction of ejection very low (inferior to 40%), symptomatic cardiac
insufficiency or both

- Patients with a grave concomitant neurological or psychiatric disease

- Positivity of HIV (donor and/or receptor)
