RecruitingPhase 2/3
Study to Improve OS in 18 to 60 Year-old Patients, Comparing Daunorubicin Versus High Dose Idarubicin Induction Regimens, High Dose Versus Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Consolidation Regimens, and Standard Versus MMF Prophylaxis of GvHD in Allografted Patients in First CR

Plain-language summary
This open label, multicenter phase II/III study with multiple randomization phases at differents stages of AML treatment (induction, consolidation and HSCT where applicable) is designed to improve OS in younger (18 to 60 year-old) patients, with AML risk-adapted patient strategies. Within the intermediate risk AML group, optimal GvHD prophylaxis following allogeneic SCT in first CR, after either myeloablative (MAC) or reduced intensity (RIC) conditioning, will also be evaluated. With an adaptative design, this clinical trial could test up to 3 novel AML agents of interest.

Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥ 18 years and \< 61 years
. With a newly diagnosed de novo or secondary type AML (post myelodysplastic syndrome MDS or therapy-related AML)
. No prior treatment for neither AML (with the exception of hydroxyurea), nor MDS (with the exception of EPO)
. ECOG performance status ≤ 3
. Absence of severe uncontrolled infection
. No cardiac contraindications for the use of anthracyclines : decompensated or uncontrolled heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, current signs of cardiac impairment, uncontrolled arrhythmias, LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) \< 50%
. Total bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (UNL), ASAT(SGOT) and ALAT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X UNL, creatinine \< 150 µmol/l, unless AML-related out of range values
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
