Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Diagnosis of AML as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification (Vardiman 2009) * Primary refractory AML (defined as a failure to achieve a CR or CRi after therapy with curative intent) or AML in first relapse * ECOG Performance status 0, 1 or 2 * Age \> 18 and \< 70 years * For patients presenting with primary refractory AML, \> 20% blasts on baseline bone marrow assessment * For patients presenting with relapsed AML, \> 5% blasts on baseline bone marrow assessment
Exclusion criteria
* An initial diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (as defined by French-American-British criteria (Bennett 1976)) * Secondary AML, defined as AML evolving from antecedent hematological disorder or prior exposure to leukemogenic therapy or agent * Clinically active CNS leukemia * Previously received a total cumulative dose of cytarabine \> 6g/m2 in the last 6 months * Previously received \> 1 induction regimen (Defined as 1 or 2 cycles of a drug or a drug combination administered as remission induction therapy)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the response rate (CR + CRi) of AS1411 at 40 and 80mg/kg/day in combination with cytarabine therapy with the response rate (CR + CRi) of cytarabine therapy alone | Dec 2011 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare duration of remission, disease free survival and overall survival of AS1411 at 40 or 80mg/kg/day in combination with cytarabine therapy with that of cytarabine alone. | Dec 2011 |
| To compare the time to hematological recovery of AS1411 at 40 or 80mg/kg/day in combination with cytarabine therapy with that of cytarabine alone. | Dec 2011 |
| To compare the safety of AS1411 at 40 or 80mg/kg/day in combination with cytarabine therapy with that of cytarabine alone. | Dec 2011 |
| To evaluate and compare a range of PD markers in patients administered AS1411 in combination with cytarabine therapy with the same PD markers in patients administered cytarabine therapy alone. | Dec 2011 |
| To further define the PK of AS1411 | Dec 2011 |
