Study Summary

This Phase 3 study assesses two drug regimens as the initial treatment of patients who are at least 70 years of age and have newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for whom the doctor does not recommend the use of standard intensive treatment or the patient has decided not to receive standard intensive treatment after being fully informed about its benefits and risks by his/her doctor. The two drug regimens are sapacitabine administered in alternating cycles with decitabine or decitabine alone. The purpose of the study is to learn which drug regimen is more likely to keep AML in check as long as possible.

Primary Outcome

The distribution of overall survival was estimated by the method of Kaplan and Meier. A log-rank analysis stratified by randomization stratification factors was used to compare overall survival between Arm A (decitabine/sapacitabine) versus Arm C (decitabine). Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify predictive factors for overall survival.
