Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objectives To demonstrate that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival and thus an early read-out for drug efficacy Study design Surrogate endpoint trial to establish that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder with an incidence of 3 to 4 per 100 000 men and women per year and a median age at diagnosis of about 70 years. Prognosis, especially in older patients, has remained very poor. In patients considered suitable for intensive chemotherapy, the combination of an anthracycline and cytarabine remains the standard of care. For patients achieving a complete remission (CR), postremission therapy (PRT) ranging from chemotherapy to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is required; intensive PRT is still under debate in older patients. Beyond pre-treatment genetics-based risk stratification, measurable residual disease (MRD) during treatment and follow up emerges as an important prognostic factor in first CR. Furthermore, MRD may provide a tool for a read-out of therapeutic efficacy. In this diagnostic meta-study the investigators intend to measure MRD using multiparameter flow cytometry across up-front randomized clinical trials which in total will accrue more than 1000 patients. According to the leukemia-associated phenotype at diagnosis or the different-from-normal approach, MRD will be assessed early (after induction) and late (after consolidation) during treatment. The aim of the study is to show that levels of MRD measured early during treatment are closely related to overall survival and thus may serve as an early surrogate. There is a growing public demand that new, promising drugs are approved for therapy as rapidly as possible. Therefore, it is of great interest to obtain these approvals based on early biomarker endpoints such as MRD rather than on long-term survival endpoints.
