Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Conditions
Keywords
AML, favorable risk, azacitidine, decitabine, maintenance therapy
Brief summary
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
DRUGHypomethylating 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Relapse free survival (RFS) | 5 year | It is measured from the date of entry into this trial to the date of hematologic relapse or death from any cause; subjects not known to have any of these events are censored on the date they were last examined. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival (OS) | 5 year | It is measured from the date of entry into this trial to the date of death from any cause; subjects not known to have died at last follow-up are censored on the date they were last known to be alive. |
| Cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) | 5 year | CIR defined as from the time of recruitment to the study until the date of hematologic relapse. |
