Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The present study aims at evaluating the prognostic factors at diagnosis predicting Central Nervous System (CNS) relapse in order to identify a group of patients with higher risk of CNS involvement in which prophylaxis with liposomal Ara-C or other drugs should be indicated.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- AML patients
- description
- AML patients according to the French-American-British (FAB) criteria, previously enrolled in GIMEMA Studies for AML treatment. AML patients with CNS involvement defined by the confirmation of leukemic blast cells in the centrifuged cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with the presence of more than five WBCs in the CSF or the detection of a CNS granulocytic sarcoma using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
- interventionNames
- Other: Observation of CNS involvement
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Number of CNS relapses
- timeFrame
- At 12 months from study start
- description
- To estimate the association between biological and clinical characteristic at diagnosis and the occurrence of CNS relapse and to confirm predisposing factors already described in literature (young age, higher level of lactate dehydrogenase; WBC counts at diagnosis, FAB M4 and M5 morphology, chromosome 16 inversion and chromosome 11 abnormality) in AML patients previously registered in GIMEMA Studies and treated according to the GIMEMA AML protocols
