Trial design/methodology |
Phase | 3 |
Kind of study | Efficacy Safety
|
Design | Controlled Randomised
|
Purpose of study |
To evaluate the benefit, in term of event free survival, of the administration of anthracyclines during the induction treatment of standard -risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia responders at day 21 (A1 group).
Secondary objectives:
-To evaluate the impact of anthracyclines on the incidence of high level of residual disease at the end of induction phase(A1 Group).
-To evaluate the impact of increasing treatment in chemoresistant patients at d21 or d35-d42 (groups A2 and A3).
-To compare the cardiotoxicity in 2 sub-groups of children treated or not with anthracyclines during the induction phase (A1 group).
-To analyze treatment relared toxicity. |

Summary of study design, objectives, and ongoing research findings |
FRALLE 2000-A is undertaken in children with acute lymphoblastic type B leukemia
of standard -risk The initial sensitivity to treatment is evaluated by the chemosensitivity at D21 and by the medullary residual disease at D35-D42. Three groups are defined according to the chemorésistance at D21.
1/ A1 group : good responders at D21 are randomized for the administration of anthracyclines. In the absence of high residual disease at D35-D42, they will remain in this group. If the residual disease is high they will be included in group A3.
2/A2 group, chemoresistant patients receive anthracyclines and consolidation identical to that of the A1 group. They are included either in the A1 group if they do not have a raised residual disease at J35-J42, or with the A3 group if residual disease is low at D35-D42. 3/A3 group: patients poor responders at DJ21 and patients of groups A1 or A2 with high residual disease at D35-D42. These patients receive anthracyclines then an intensified treatment. Rate of event free survival will be evaluated at the end of the trial.
