Summary description of the study

The SCRIPT-AML study is an international clinical study investigating conditioning chemotherapy prior to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in children, adolescents, and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The main objective of the SCRIPT-AML study is to compare the tolerance and efficacy of two different conditioning regimens used in the treatment of AML in children and adolescents. This study consists of different parts: an interventional part that includes randomization (i.e., a random allocation of participants into different groups) and an observational part.

Intervention under investigation

Based on predefined criteria, it will be decided whether the patient can participate in the randomization or the observational arm of the SCRIPT-AML project.

 

Randomization:

As part of the randomization, the patient will receive one of the following chemotherapy combinations during the conditioning phase prior to HCT:

• BuCyMel: busulfan, cyclophosphamide, melphalan

• CloFluBu: clofarabine, fludarabine, busulfan

Patients will be randomly assigned (randomization) to the two groups. Both combinations have already been successfully used for pre-HCT conditioning in cases of acute myeloid leukemia. The controlled comparison of BuCyMel with CloFluBu in this study will allow for the assessment of whether one of the conditioning protocols is more effective or associated with fewer side effects than the other or whether, conversely, both protocols are equivalent.

 

Observational arm: Unlike the randomization, in the observational arm, the treating physician will decide on the chemotherapy combination administered during the pre-HCT conditioning phase.
