About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia focused on measuring AML

Eligibility Criteria

55 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

For Study Registration:

  • Age 55 - 70 years.
  • Subjects diagnosed with AML (> 20% myeloblasts).

For Proceeding to Transplant:

  • Subjects must be in either complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) within 14 days prior to admission.
  • Subjects must be > 21 days since completion of prior systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy (including craniospinal XRT), prior to admission .
  • Organ function requirements for a reduced intensity (FluBu2) regimen (must be met within 21 days of admission):

    • Cardiac: LV Ejection Fraction > 40% on MUGA or Echocardiogram.
    • Pulmonary: FEV1 and FVC > 40% predicted, DLCO > 40% of predicted.
    • Renal: Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dl. Not on hemodialysis or continuous veno-venous filtration (CVVH).
    • Hepatic: serum total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dl and AST / ALT < 4x ULN
    • Karnofsky > 60%.
  • Organ function requirements for a full intensity (FluBu4) regimen (must be met within 21 days of admission):

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Fludarabine plus Busulfan (CR)

Fludarabine plus Busulfan (PR)

Arm Description

Patients in CR will receive a reduced intensity transplant regimen consisting of Fludarabine plus Busulfan (FluBu2).

Patients in PR will receive a full intensity transplant regimen consisting of Fludarabine plus Busulfan (FluBu4).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Relapse Free Survival at 1 Year
The primary objective was to determine the 1 year relapse free survival rate (RFS) for individuals > 55 years in age with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR) who undergo a 7-8/8 HLA- matched unrelated donor transplant using a reduced intensity regimen.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants Alive at 1 Year
One of the secondary objectives was to determine overall survival for patients > 55 years in age with AML undergoing full or reduced transplant with the best available donor.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The prognosis for older individuals with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been historically poor, with 2 year disease-free survival rates < 20% reported. Younger patients with AML in first complete remission are routinely treated using a full intensity (myelo-ablative) chemotherapy followed by a blood stem cell transplant. For the older patient with AML, full intensity therapy transplants have been greatly limited by increased rates of toxic effects related to this type of conditioning regimen. Reduced intensity (non-myeloablative) conditioning regimens have been used in a number of clinical settings, including AML therapy, to lessen the regimen related toxicity in the older patient. Recent data from the University of Michigan Blood and Marrow Transplant Program suggests improved survival for individuals > 55 years in age undergoing reduced intensity, transplants from unrelated donors. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of this treatment option for older patients with AML, with the primary goal being to improve the survival and lifespan for older patients with AML.
