E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Untreated AML patients aged more than 65 will be subjected to two randomizations (R1 and R2), in this study.
The primary objective of the first randomization (R1) is to assess the benefit in terms of Event Free Survival (EFS) of untreated AML patients aged more than 65 years, treated with induction and consolidation chemotherapy courses, in one arm or with the same chemotherapy courses combined with ATRA in the other arm.
The primary objective of the second randomization (R2) is to assess the benefit in terms of Relapse Free Interval (RFI) of maintenance with azacitidine in AML patients in CR, after induction and 4 to 6 consolidation courses of chemotherapy +/- ATRA.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- CR rate - Overall survival - Assess the safety of combination ATRA + chemotherapy and of maintenance with azacitidine - Response rate to azacitidine +/-ATRA combination after intensive chemotherapy failure and identification of possible predictors of response to this therapy - Effects on relapse rates of ATRA and maintenance, with respect to cytogenetics risk groups, subtypes of AML and mutational status (FLT3, MLL), and biomarkers. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary endpoints: Event Free Survival (EFS), defined as the time to the first event including relapse, death, measured from randomization R1. Relapse Free Incidence (RFI), defined as 1- cumulative incidence of relapse from randomization R2, including all MDS relapses or AML relapses.
Secondary endpoints: - CR rate - Cumulative incidence of relapse from CR - Overall survival - Response and safety of the following combinations : ATRA + chemotherapy, azacitidine or azacitidine + ATRA after induction failure. - Safety and toxicity of maintenance with azacitidine - Possible predictors to response to ATRA, azacitidine after failure: with respect to cytogenetics. risk groups, diagnosis groups 1 and 2, mutational status (NPM, FLT3, MLL) and biomarkers. - Predictors of prolonged RFI in maintenance arm, using biomarkers; |
