Trial Outcomes & Findings for Decitabine for Older or Unfit Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (NCT NCT01786343)

NCT ID: NCT01786343

Last Updated: 2020-04-15

Results Overview

Response is defined as Complete Response (CR) + Partial Remission (PR) + Complete Remission with incomplete recovery (CRi) + Clinical Benefit. CR is the normalization of the peripheral blood and bone marrow with \</= 5% bone marrow blasts, a peripheral blood granulocyte count \>/= (1.0 x 10\^9/L, and a platelet count \>/= 100 x 10\^9/L). PR is the same as CR except for the presence of 6-15% marrow blasts, or 50% reduction if \<15% at start of treatment. CRi meets all criteria for CR except for platelet recovery to \>100 x 10\^9/L and/or granulocyte count \> (1.0 x 10\^9/L). Clinical benefit is platelets increase by 50% and to above 30 x 10\^9/L untransfused (if lower than that pretherapy); or granulocytes increase by 100% and to above 10\^9/L (if lower than that pre-therapy); or hemoglobin increase by 2 g/dl; or transfusion independent; or splenomegaly reduction by \> 50%; or monocytosis reduction by \> 50% if pretreatment \> 5 x 109/L.
