Official Title

A Phase III Randomized Study of Farnesyl Transferase Inhibitor R115777 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients in Second or Subsequent Remission or in Remission After Primary Induction Failure or Patients Over Age 60 in First Remission

Brief Summary

      This randomized phase III trial studies tipifarnib in treating patients with acute myeloid
      leukemia (AML) in remission. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the
      enzymes necessary for their growth. It is not yet known whether tipifarnib is more effective
      than observation alone in preventing the recurrence of AML.
    

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare R115777 (tipifarnib) maintenance therapy to observation only with respect to
      disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with AML in second or subsequent complete remission
      or in complete response (CR) following primary induction failure.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare overall survival of patients in both arms. II. To evaluate the long-term safety
      and toxicity of extended administration of R115777 in AML patients in remission.

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

      ARM A: Patients receive tipifarnib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Courses repeat
      every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM B: Patients undergo observation only.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 5 years.
