Scientific titleAML17: a programme of treatment development in younger patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
Study acronymAML17
Study hypothesisBest chemotherapy +/- molecular intervention and risk-directed chemotherapy.
Ethics approval(s)MREC for Wales, 08/10/2008, ref: 08/MRE09/29
ConditionAcute myeloid leukaemia/high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 24/06/2008:
1. In acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) patients to compare idarubicin and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) versus ATRA and arsenic
2. In non-APL patients to compare ara-C/dauno/etoposide (ADE) alone versus ADE or ara-C/dauno (DA) each with Mylotarg at two different doses (five arms):
2.1. ADE alone
2.2. ADE and Mylotarg (3 mg)
2.3. DA and Mylotarg (3 mg)
2.4. ADE and Mylotarg (6 mg)
2.5. DA and Mylotarg (6 mg)
3. Three versus four courses of total therapy
4. +/- CEP-701 (lestaurtinib) in FLT3 mutants
5. Dauno and clofarabine versus fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and idarubicin (FLAG-Ida) in high-risk patients
6. +/- mTOR inhibition in non-CBF, non-FLT3 mutant, in non-high risk patients

The treatment period is approximately 4 to 6 months.

Previous interventions:
1. In acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) patients to compare idarubicin and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) versus ATRA and arsenic
2. In non-APL patients to compare ara-C/dauno/etoposide (ADE) alone versus ADE or ara-C/dauno (DA) each with Mylotarg at two different doses (five arms):
2.1. ADE alone
2.2. ADE and Mylotarg (3 mg)
2.3. DA and Mylotarg (3 mg)
2.4. ADE and Mylotarg (6 mg)
2.5. DA and Mylotarg (6 mg)
3. Three versus four courses of total therapy
4. +/- CEP-701 (lestaurtinib) in FLT3 mutants
5. Dauno and clofarabine versus dauno and cloretazine versus fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and idarubicin (FLAG-Ida) in high-risk patients
6. +/- mTOR inhibition in non-CBF, non-FLT3 mutant, in non-high risk patients

The treatment period is approximately 4 to 6 months.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Idarubicin, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), arsenic, ara-C/dauno/etoposide (ADE), ara-C/dauno (DA), mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin), lestaurtinib, clofarabine, cloretazine, fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
Primary outcome measure1. Complete remission (CR), measured at approximately 1 month and if required approximately 6 weeks later i.e. after course 1 and/or 2
2. CR duration
3. Relapse rate, monitored over 5 years
4. Deaths in CR, monitored over 5 years
5. Overall survival (at 5 years)
6. Toxicity
7. Quality of life, measured at baseline and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months for those in the APL section of the trial, and at 3, 6 and 12 months for patients in the minimal residual disease monitoring. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer patients (EORTC QLQC-30) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS) will be used.
8. Supportive care requirements
Secondary outcome measures1. Detection of minimal residual disease
2. Correlation of serum inhibitory activity
Overall study start date01/09/2008
Overall study end date31/12/2020
