NCT06379360 | Recruiting Phase 2

• 1 other identifier: SZAMLLRM01
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 77
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

HMA maintenance therapy is expected to benefit overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS) in AML patients with favorable risk.

Conditions

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Keywords

AML; favorable risk; azacitidine; decitabine; maintenance therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Relapse free survival (RFS)

  It is measured from the date of entry into this trial to the date of hematologic relapse or death from any cause; subjects not known to have any of these events are censored on the date they were last examined.

  5 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Overall survival (OS)

  5 year

• Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR)

  5 year

Study Arms (1)

HMA maintenance therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

All enrolled patients received maintenance therapy consisting of azacitidine or decitabine.

Drug: Hypomethylating agent, Azacitidine or Decitabine

Interventions

Hypomethylating agent, Azacitidine or Decitabine DRUG

All enrolled patients received maintenance therapy consisting of Azacitidine (75mg/m2, subcutaneous injection, days 1-7) or Decitabine (20mg/m2, intravenous infusion, days 1-5), every three months as a cycle, for a maintenance therapy of 4-8 cycles.

Also known as: Hypomethylating agent (HMA)

HMA maintenance therapy

• Surgery on the main organs within the past six weeks.
• Drug abuse or long-term alcohol abuse that would affect the evaluation results. Patients who have received organ transplants (excepting bone marrow transplantation).
