Trial overview

Phase II study of the tolerability of adjunctive azacitidine in patients undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplasia.

Diagnosis:

  • Patients who fulfil WHO criteria for AML12
  • Patients who fulfil WHO criteria for MDS12

Patients with an HLA identical sibing or suitable matched unrelated donor and considered fit for reduced intensity transplantation.

Written informed consent prior to study specific screening procedures, with the understanding that the patient has the right to withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice.

Willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Patients with contraindications to receiving Fludarabine, Melphalan, Alemtuzumab or Azacitidine.

Other trials currently active for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

RICAZA

Phase II study of the tolerability of adjunctive azacitidine in patients undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplasia.

AML 17

The AML 17 trial has two distinct parts:

i.For patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), (other than acute promyelocytic leukaemia) and High Risk Myelodysplasia, as defined by the WHO Classification (2001) (Appendix A, protocol).

ii.For adults with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL).

 

AML Len 5

A pilot safety / tolerability study of Lenalidomide administered as monotherapy and in combination with standard chemotherapy for
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia / high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome with structural abnormalities of chromosome 5

Novartis Panobinostat Refractory AML

A Phase II Study of Oral Single Agent Panobinostat in Patients with Refractory de novo or secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

AML 16

The AML16 Trial will evaluate several relevant therapeutic questions in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), as defined by the WHO, and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The trial is primarily designed for patients over 60 years, but younger patients who may not be considered suitable for the concurrent MRC AML Trial for
younger patients may also enter.
