Study Summary

This phase III trial studies response-based chemotherapy in treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Response-based chemotherapy separates patients into different risk groups and treats them according to how they respond to the first course of treatment (Induction I). Response-based treatment may be effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome while reducing the side effects.

Primary Outcome

The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 2-year EFS separately for standard risk and high risk patients. EFS is defined as the time from the end of Induction I to failure to achieve remission at the end of Induction II, relapse, occurrence of a second malignancy, or death.
