  Purpose

Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor which is acting on various cellular pathways involved in the genesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sorafenib is therefore a promising candidate for improvement of chemotherapy results in AML. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of sorafenib added to standard chemotherapy for AML in patients between 18 and 60 years of age. Patients are randomised to receive either sorafenib capsules or placebo in addition to their chemotherapy. The placebo and the sorafenib group will be compared regarding event-free survival and other clinical outcomes. An event is either treatment failure or relapse or death. According to the study hypothesis, the sorafenib group will have less events than the placebo group.

Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with newly diagnosed AML (except APL) according to the FAB and WHO classification, including AML evolving from MDS or other hematologic diseases and AML after previous cytotoxic therapy or radiation (secondary AML)
  • Bone marrow aspirate or biopsy must contain ≥ 20% blasts of all nucleated cells or differential blood count must contain ≥ 20% blasts. In AML FAB M6 ≥ 30% of nonerythroid cells in the bone marrow must be leukemic blasts. In AML defined by cytogenetic aberrations, the proportion of blasts may be < 20%.
  • Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 60 years
  • Informed consent, personally signed and dated to participate in the study
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
  • Adequate liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to screening:
