Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Response after each course of chemotherapy and date of CR. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Disease-free survival (i.e. time from achievement of first CR to the date of relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first); 2. Event-free survival (i.e., time from start of therapy to the date of no complete response, death or relapse whichever occurs first): this takes into consideration induction failures and toxic deaths. The time to failure of patients with induction failure is set at one day; 3. Overall survival will be measured from time of registration until death or last contact; 4. Toxicities and treatment related mortality. | — |
