Official title
Maintenance Therapy of Hypomethylating Agent (HMA) in Favorable Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients: A Single Arm, Multi Center Clinical Trial
Overview
HMA maintenance therapy is expected to benefit overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS) in AML patients with favorable risk.
Detailed description
Applying hypomethylating agents, azacitidine or decitabine as maintenance therapy in favorable-risk AML may prolong the remission duration and further improve their long-term survival.
Interventions
- Drug Hypomethylating agent, Azacitidine or Decitabine
All enrolled patients received maintenance therapy consisting of Azacitidine (75mg/m2, subcutaneous injection, days 1-7) or Decitabine (20mg/m2, intravenous infusion, days 1-5), every three months as a cycle, for a maintenance therapy of 4-8 cycles.
Primary outcome measures
- Relapse free survival (RFS) [Time frame: 5 year]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Overall survival (OS) [Time frame: 5 year]
- Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) [Time frame: 5 year]
