Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interest of maintenance treatment with interleukin-2 by randomizing the patients being not allogeneic transplanted in complete remission after induction and consolidation chemotherapy concerning the event free survival.
Detailed description
We designed an open randomized study to evaluate the interest of maintenance treatment with interleukin-2 by randomizing the patients being not allogeneic transplanted in complete remission after induction and consolidation chemotherapy concerning the event free survival. A total of 580 patients will be accrued over 7 years. Treatment consists in subcutaneous application of interleukin-2 in treating patients with complete remission by a monthly regimen of 5 days during 1 year after having received a chemotherapy consisting of 1 induction and 3 consolidation treatments.
Interventions
One cycle of treatment : D1 : 2.5 MUI/m2 (subcutaneous); D2 to D5 : 5 MUI / m2 (subcutaneous) 1 cycle of treatment each month during 12 months
