Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Two Combination Chemotherapy Regimens in Treating Adults With Previously Untreated Leukemia or Lymphoma (NCT NCT00002766)

NCT ID: NCT00002766

Last Updated: 2016-02-22

Results Overview

complete remission (CR) Disappearance of all clinical evidence of leukemia for a minimum of four weeks. The patient should have a neutrophil count \> 1,000 x 10\^6/1, a platelet count \> 100,000 x 10\^9/1, no circulating blasts, and \< than or = to blasts on bone marrow differential in a qualitatively normal or hypercellular marrow. Progressive disease or failure: Increasing bone marrow infiltrate or development of organ failure or extramedullary infiltrates due to leukemia.

Measure
All-2
ARA-C/High-Dose Mitoxantrone("All-2") Patients receive induction therapy consisting of cytarabine IV over 3 hours on days 1-5 with high-dose mitoxantrone IV on day 3 and methotrexate intrathecally on days 2 and 4. Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously or IV over 4 hours beginning on day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover.
L-20
Standard Vincristine/Prednisone ("L-20") Patients receive induction therapy consisting of vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, oral prednisone 2-3 times daily on days 1-29, cyclophosphamide IV on day 5, doxorubicin IV on days 23-25 and 42, methotrexate intrathecally on days 3, 5, 13, 16, 32, and 34 and GM-CSF subcutaneously or IV over 4 hours beginning from days 7 and 27 and continuing until blood counts recover.
