Phase 3
This trial compared how well different treatments worked to
Get AML into remission
Stop the leukaemia from coming back
All the treatments had been used before and were known to work, but doctors were not sure which was best.
Some people taking part in the trial also had a drug called retinoic acid (also known as ATRA) to see if it helped one type of chemotherapy to work better.
