Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase I study: Safety and tolerability of clofarabine in combination with standard remission induction treatment for AML/MDS in order to determine the optimal dose for administration in the phase II trial Phase II; The efficacy (complete remission rate) after the remission induction course. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase I: Efficacy (complete remission rate) after one or two remission induction courses and after the consolidation course, and hematopoietic recovery after the remission induction and after the consolidation course. Phase II: Safety/tolerability and activity expressed as complete remission rate after the consolidation course, hematopoietic recovery after the induction and consolidation courses, feasibility of the CD34+ cells harvest after the consolidation course. Diseasefree survival and survival after achievement of a complete remission, and overall survival. | — |
