Timeline
News
26OCT2016: 1 December 2016 the HOVON 97 study is going to be closed for the inclusion of new patients.
Please read the following letter form the PI, Prof. Dr. G.A. Huls:
Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your interest and support of the HOVON 97 study during the last years. Currently, 116 patients have been included. As discussed at the last HOVON leukemia group meeting, it has been decided to stop the study, mainly due to slow accrual and also because it has become clear that the number of events (especially after 1 year follow up) is low and therefore, the number of events as defined in the original statistical plan will not be reached (also not if more patients will be included).
In line with this we would like to announce that the HOVON 97 study will be closed for inclusion December 1st 2016. After additional follow up the study will be analyzed June/July 2017, to be able to submit an abstract to ASH 2017.
Best regards, Gerwin Huls

Flow
Details
- Phase:
- Prospective randomized Phase III study
- Monitoring Type:
- Not any more
- Objectives:
To assess, in a randomized study the value of Azacitidine as post remission therapy (in comparison to observation) in elderly patients with AML, RAEB or RAEB-t with respect to the disease free survival.
- In addition, post remission Azacitidine therapy will be evaluated with respect to toxicity, probability of relapse and probability of death in first CR and overall survival.
- To evaluate prognostic factors (e.g. phenotype, cytogenetics) in the context of post remission therapy with Azacitidine as regards to overall survival, and disease free survival.
Eligibility
- Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 60 years or more
- Subjects with a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis of

Note: Subjects with a secondary AML progressing from antecedent myelodysplasia and biphenotypic leukaemia are eligible.
- Less than 5% bone marrow blasts and absence of Auer rods after 2 cycles of induction therapy (this induction therapy can be according to HOVON81, HOVON92 or similar protocols. Of note: also patients who are treated according to one of these protocols but were not formally included in these studies are eligible for HOVON97)
