Study summary

It is often impossible to find therapeutic target in intermediate-risk AML, so it is very important to select appropriate chemotherapy protocol to eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in these AML patients. Recent studies demonstrated that leukemia microenvironment is the shelter nich for leukemia stem cells and the essential reason for impossibly eliminating MRD. Demethylation drug not only prove the effect of chemotherapy, but also change leukemia microenvironment through epigenetics modification. Both of them will result in eliminating MRD in patients with AML. The investigators designed a multicenter randomized control clinical trail to evaluate the effect of demethylation drug combined with chemotherapy in AML patients with intermediate-risk factors after hematological complete remission. Efficacy will be evaluated through MRD detected by flow cytometry every 1 month. Continuous negative MRD indicates a good prognosis. The patients with continuous negative MRD can select auto-HSCT or consolidation chemotherapy, those with continuous positive MRD should be considered as candidates of allo-HSCT. Overall survival and relapse free survival will be recorded after follow-up every 3 months. It will provide a basis for precision therapy and a new way for designing a novel protocol for intermediate-risk AML. This clinical trail will benefit to the AML patients with intermediate-risk factors.

Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • AML patients with abnormal heart, lung, liver and renal function, or with serious infection. score is over 2

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Decitabine and Ara-C

    Intermediate-risk AML patients with hematological complete remission and positive minimal residual disease (MRD) will receive decitabine (15mg/m2 d1-5) combined with high-dose of Ara-C (2g/m2 d4-6) consolidation chemotherapy.

    Drug: Decitabine and Ara-C

  • Placebo comparator
    Ara-C

    Intermediate-risk AML patients with hematological complete remission and positive minimal residual disease (MRD) will receive high-dose of Ara-C (2g/m2 d4-6) consolidation chemotherapy.

    Drug: Ara-C

Interventions

  • DrugDecitabine and Ara-C

    Drug pages: Decitabine · Cytarabine

    Decitabine in combination with high-dose of Ara-C is used to improve the effect of consolidation chemotherapy. It is expected to make minimal residual disease (MRD) become negative in more patients with intermediate-risk AML.

    Also known as: Decitabine in combination with high-dose of Ara-C

  • DrugAra-C

    Intermediate-risk AML patients with hematological complete remission and positive minimal residual disease (MRD) will receive high-dose of Ara-C (2g/m2 d4-6) consolidation chemotherapy.

    Also known as: High-dose of Ara-C

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Minimal residual disease

    Minimal residual disease is detected by flow cytometry every 1 month in AML patients.

    Time frame: 1 month

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    AML patients are followed up every 3 months to evaluate overall survival

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. Relapse free survival

    AML patients are followed up every 3 months to evaluate relapse free survival.

    Time frame: 3 months

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2022, 47 months after the start.

Of 18 phase 2 interventional studies under Leukemia, Myeloid, half reached primary completion within 48 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 72. This study's planned 47 months is close to that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 27, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
