Arm Label
Azacitidine
Best supportive care
Arm Description
Vidaza consists of 50 mg/ m2 s.c or i.v for 7 days (5 + weekend off + 2) every 28 days and increase after 1st cycle, if well tolerated, to 75 mg/m2 s.c or i.v. for 7 days (5 + weekend off + 2) every 28 days for further 5 cycles followed by cycles every 56 days for 4 years and six months
No drug administration
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Disease free Survival (DFS)
Disease-free survival (DFS) at 2 and 5 years. Events for DFS are death and first relapse (either AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) recurrence) and death; observations are censored at the date of last contact if alive and disease-free. DFS will be calculated from the date of achievement of CR to the date of 1st relapse or death. Patients still alive in 1st CR will be censored at the moment of last visit/contact.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Hospitalizations
Number and length of hospitalizations in the post-remission period.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) at 2 and 5 years. Event for OS in both arms is death and patients are censored at the date of last contact if alive

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The present study aims to compare the efficacy of postremission maintenance therapy with 5-Aza versus best supportive care (BSC) in a cohort of AML patients aged >60 years, who have achieved complete remission (CR) following conventional induction ('3+7') and consolidation chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
The present study aims to compare the efficacy of postremission maintenance therapy with 5-Aza versus best supportive care (BSC) in a cohort of AML patients aged >60 years, who have achieved CR following conventional induction ('3+7') and consolidation chemotherapy to evaluate 2 an 5 year post-remission rates of Overall Survival and disease free survival between two arms
