The purpose of this page is to provide references to "null therapy" such as placebo and observation. These references provide further insight into the historical development of the treatment landscape. See the main APL page for regimens that include active anticancer treatment.
Maintenance after upfront therapy
Observation
Regimen
Study | Dates of enrollment | Evidence | Comparator | Comparative Efficacy |
---|---|---|---|---|
Avvisati et al. 2002 (GIMEMA LAP 0389) | 1989-1993 | Phase 3 (C) | 6-MP & MTX | Did not meet primary endpoint of EFS |
Mandelli et al. 1997 (GIMEMA AIDA 0493) | 1993-1996 | Phase 3 (C) | 1. ATRA | Did not meet primary endpoint of molecular DFS |
2. ATRA, 6-MP, MTX | Did not meet primary endpoint of molecular DFS | |||
3. 6-MP & MTX | Did not meet primary endpoint of molecular DFS | |||
Fenaux et al. 1999 (EAPLG APL 93) | 1993-1996 | Phase 3 (C) | 1. ATRA | Seems to have inferior 2-year relapse rate |
2. ATRA, 6-MP, MTX 3. 6-MP & MTX |
Inferior 2-year relapse rate | |||
Coutre et al. 2014 (SWOG S0521) | 2007-06 to 2010-05 | Phase 3 (C) | ATRA, 6-MP, MTX | Inconclusive whether non-inferior DFS36 (primary endpoint) DFS36: 100% vs 96% (HR not reported) |
No further treatment given after consolidation. Note that this arm was dropped from AIDA 0493 from February 1997.
Preceding treatment
- EAPLG APL 93: Cytarabine & daunorubicin consolidation
- GIMEMA AIDA 0493 & LAP 0389: Cytarabine & idarubicin, then etoposide & mitoxantrone, then cytarabine, idarubicin, thioguanine consolidation
