Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clofarabine and Ara-C for the Treatment of Relapsed AML and Untreated MDS (NCT NCT00334074)

NCT ID: NCT00334074

Last Updated: 2013-07-17

Results Overview

Based on International working group for diagnosis, standardization of response criteria, and treatment outcomes for reporting standards for therapeutic trials in Acute myeloid Leukemia: Complete Response (CR) was defined as normalization of marrow blasts (\< 5%), recovery of normal heamtopoiesis (absolute neutrophil count \>1 X 10\^9/l, platelet count ≥100 X10\^9/l, and absence of peripheral blood blasts, independent of transfusions and growth factor support. Partial response was defined as blood count recovery as for complete response with the exception of leukemic marrow blasts in the range of 6%-25% or a ≥50% decrease in bone marrow blasts. Treatment failure was defined as a \<25% change in marrow blasts within 30 days of starting therapy

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Proportion of confirmed responses was estimated by the number of patients who achieved a CR or PR, defined as two consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart, divided by the number of eligible participants in the study.

Population: Intent to Treat analysis; per eligible participants enrolled in the study.
