Study Details

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the leukemic cells in the bone marrow. Giving idarubicin and cytarabine with bevacizumab may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet know whether giving idarubicin together with cytarabine is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating acute myeloid leukemia. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving idarubicin and cytarabine together with bevacizumab works compared to idarubicin and cytarabine alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia

Arms

  • Experimental: Arm I (idarubicin, cytarabine)
    Arm I: Patients receive idarubicin IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 and cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-4. Post-CR therapy: All patients receive 4 post-CR chemotherapy courses approximately every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Course 1: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-5. Course 2 and 4: Patients receive idarubicin IV over 1 hour and cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-4.
  • Experimental: Arm II (idarubicin, cytarabine, bevacizumab)
    Patients receive idarubicin and cytarabine as in arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab\* IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients who do not achieve complete remission (CR) after the first induction course may receive a second induction course approximately 28 days\* later. Patients who do not achieve CR after 2 courses are removed from the study. NOTE: \*Patients in arm II receive bevacizumab, independently of chemotherapy administration schedule, once every 21 days for 1 year from CR date. Post-CR therapy: All patients receive 4 post-CR chemotherapy courses approximately every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Course 1: Patients receive cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-5. Course 2 and 4: Patients receive idarubicin IV over 1 hour and cytarabine IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1-4.

Primary Outcome Measure

Proportion of patients who remain alive in the first complete remission (CR) 1 year from achievement of CR assessed every 3 weeks for 1 year [ Time Frame: 13 months from registration ]
