Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase 1-2 of Azacitidine + Lenalidomide for Previously Untreated Elderly Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (NCT NCT00890929)

NCT ID: NCT00890929

Last Updated: 2018-06-18

Results Overview

Compete Remission (CR) includes subjects with CR but incomplete recovery of blood counts (CRi). CR was assessed according to the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) guidelines, and is defined as the absence of clonal lymphocytes in the peripheral blood.

4-week Survival Rate
83 percentage of subjects remaining alive

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 15 months

Population: This outcome only includes results from participants in study Phase 1.

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide was determined in study phase 1, for use in study Phase 2 (not conducted). The outcome is reported as the dose of lenalidomide that represents the MTD.
