Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase II Open-Label Study of High-Dose Cytarabine and Clofarabine in Adult Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or Refractory or Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (NCT NCT01656031)

NCT ID: NCT01656031

Last Updated: 2017-06-20

Results Overview

Response to the therapy is measured by a defined improvement in Neutrophil and platlet counts, along with improved cellularity of bone marrow biopsy (\>20% with maturation of all cell lines), \<5% blasts, auer rods must not be detectable and extramedullary leukemia or soft tissue involvment must not be present.
