Trial design

Randomised, comparator elements include cytarabine (intravenous) with comparison between 1.5 g/m2 and 3.0 g/m2 dosing for consolidation; the study also compares idarubicin versus daunorubicin at induction (specific doses/schedules for idarubicin and daunorubicin not specified in the provided data).-controlled Phase II/III trial in France.
