Official title
Phase III Randomized Study of Concurrent Tretinoin and Chemotherapy With or Without Arsenic Trioxide (AS2O3) (NSC # 706363) as Initial Consolidation Therapy Followed by Maintenance Therapy With Intermittent Tretinoin Versus Intermittent Tretinoin Plus Mercaptopurine and Methotrexate for Patients With Untreated Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized phase III trial is studying tretinoin and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to tretinoin, combination chemotherapy, and arsenic trioxide in treating patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia that has not been treated previously. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, and arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tretinoin may help leukemia cells develop into normal white blood cells. It is not yet known which regimen is more effective for acute promyelocytic leukemia.
