Study summary

RATIONALE: Drugs such as flt3L may stimulate a person's immune system and help kill cancer cells. It is not yet known if flt3L is effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of flt3L in treating patients who have acute myeloid leukemia that is in remission.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the failure-free survival and overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in complete remission treated with maintenance flt3 ligand vs observation alone.
  • Compare the long-term immunologic effects of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the long-term safety and toxicity of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to complete remission (CR) (first vs second vs third or subsequent) and post-remission therapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive flt3 ligand subcutaneously daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo observation alone. Patients begin treatment or observation within 4 weeks after documentation of CR after induction therapy or within 4 weeks after discharge from hospital after post-remission therapy.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 139 patients will be accrued for this study within approximately 28 months.
