Run by French Innovative Leukemia Organisation · NCT06891144 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at older patients with acute myeloid leukemia to see how well intensive treatment works for them and what factors might affect their recovery and survival.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 60 and over with untreated de novo or secondary AML who are suitable for intensive treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia type 3 or those with severe uncontrolled infections or psychiatric disorders may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational epidemiological study focuses on patients aged 60 and over who are diagnosed with de novo or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are eligible for intensive induction therapy. The study aims to gather data on the clinical and biological characteristics of these patients and correlate these factors with their treatment outcomes. Given the increasing incidence of AML with age, particularly after 50, the study seeks to understand the effectiveness of intensive chemotherapy in achieving complete remission and the long-term survival rates in this demographic. The research will involve collecting data from multiple centers to provide a comprehensive overview of this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of AML in older patients and improve treatment strategies, potentially leading to better outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on AML treatment in older populations, this specific observational approach focusing on epidemiological characteristics is relatively novel.
