This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed AML or high-risk MDS carrying t(8;21), inv(16) or t(16;16). One prior induction course is allowed when these chromosome findings were initially missed.
The idea: combine fludarabine, cytarabine and gemtuzumab ozogamicin with filgrastim support. Gemtuzumab delivers a cell-killing payload to CD33-bearing cells. Later treatment depends on response: selected patients receive idarubicin or modified treatment with decitabine. Researchers assess remission and toxicity and track molecular evidence of leukemia. Filgrastim supports blood-cell recovery.
This phase 2 study plans 270 patients. Jayastu Senapati leads MD Anderson in Houston.
