Brief Summary:
The proposed trial will address two clinically important questions for younger patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML): the optimal dose of daunorubicin in induction therapy and the necessity of a second induction cycle in patients with a good response after the first induction. The primary endpoint is the rate of good responders. Secondary outcomes will be relapse-free survival, overall survival and minimal residual disease kinetics. Patients will be recruited in about 40 treatment centers of the Study Alliance Leukemia study group over a period of 40 months. The results will be of great clinical relevance: First, the study could facilitate the establishment or confirmation of the optimal daunorubicin dose.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Leukemia, Myelocytic, Acute Drug: study part 1 - dose daunorubicin Procedure: induction cycles Phase 3

Detailed Description:

In the first part of the trial, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either 90 mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 daunorubicin in the first induction cycle in addition to standard dosed cytarabine. Assuming a superiority of 90 mg/m2, 436 patients will be recruited. In the second part of the trial, good responders will be randomized to receive either a second or no further induction cycle. Assuming a non-inferiority of the single induction regarding the rate of complete remissions, a number of 360 patients will be included in the second part. Furthermore, in case of a non-inferiority of single versus double induction in good responders, about half of all younger AML patients could be spared a second induction cycle, leading to a reduction in treatment-related mortality, fewer days spent in hospital and improved quality of life.

As a result of the preplanned interim analysis of part I, the sponsor decided to suspend randomization in trial part I and to offer all patients the standard dose of 60 mg/m2 daunorubicin in both induction cycles (part I and II of the trial). Because of this an Amendment was sent to and approved by regulatories and ethics comitee.

The inclusion age was raised to 65 years based on the current German treatment guidelines in which patients up to the age of 65 are considered eligible for intensive induction chemotherapy with DA60 [Onkopedia-Leitlinie 2017].

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. response rate after first induction [ Time Frame: day 15 ]
    To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin in induction chemotherapy leads to an increase in hematological good responders defined as having <5% myeloid blasts on day 15 after start of induction therapy.

  2. Rate complete remissions [ Time Frame: day 35 after final induction ]
    To investigate whether the rate of complete remissions (CR) after single induction is similar to that after double induction in patients with good response to induction I.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. rate cytogenetic and molecular complete remissions [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin in induction chemotherapy will lead to an increase in cytogenetic and molecular complete remissions.

  2. event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin will lead to improved event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). To investigate whether EFS, RFS and OS are similar after single versus double induction in patients with good response to induction I.

  3. relapse-free survival (RFS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin will lead to improved event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). To investigate whether EFS, RFS and OS are similar after single versus double induction in patients with good response to induction I.

  4. overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To investigate whether a higher dose of daunorubicin will lead to improved event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). To investigate whether EFS, RFS and OS are similar after single versus double induction in patients with good response to induction I.

  5. Correlation between Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and EFS, RFS, OS [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    To correlate the level of cytogenetic and molecular minimal residual disease after induction treatment with survival outcomes EFS, RFS and OS.

  6. Rate of induction deaths [ Time Frame: day 60 ]
    Rate of induction deaths (until day 60 or beginning of consolidation treatment - whichever occurs first)

  7. Incidence of serious infectious complications [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    Incidence of serious infectious complications Grades 3-4 (Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) V4.0

  8. Sonographic cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    Sonographic cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction

  9. Serum levels of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (por-BNP) and Troponin-T [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    Serum levels of pro-BNP and Trop-T

  10. Incidence of CTCAE grade ≥3 cardiac complications [ Time Frame: day 35 ]
    Incidence of CTCAE grade ≥3 cardiac complications

  11. Rate of early deaths [ Time Frame: week 2 ]
    Rate of early deaths (2 weeks)
