Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Have one of the forms of AML
2. Are considered suitable for intensive chemotherapy
3. Are normally under the age of 60 years, but can be older as long as intensive therapy is considered suitable
4. Have given written informed consent

Exclusion criteria: Added as of 07/03/2007:
1. Previously received any treatment for APL
2. Other forms of AML (including CML in promyelocytic blast crisis)
3. Another concurrent active malignancy
4. Pregnant or consider the possibility of becoming pregnant during the course of treatment

Leukaemia
Intervention(s)
Four randomised comparisons:

At diagnosis:
1. S-DAT versus H-DAT
2. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) versus not (except for acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) patients who will receive ATRA)

After course 3:
3. 4 versus 5 courses of total therapy
4. Bone marrow transplant (BMT) versus chemotherapy as the final course of therapy

Added 08/09/09: A trial with 250 patients would have a power of 50% to detect (at 2p=0.05) a 10% absolute difference in remission rate or long term survival between the two ATRA groups. If no difference were apparent between the two arms the possibility that one arm is greatly superior to the other (ie more than 50% better) would be eliminated. With extended collaboration (UK and internationally) to recruit a total of 500 patients the trial would have a power of about 90% to detect a 10% difference in remission rate and a power of about 50% to detect a 5% difference.
Primary Outcome(s)
Added as of 07/03/2007:
Haemorrhagic complications, induction deaths, remission rate, remission duration, overall survival and the role of ATRA in correcting the coagulopathy associated with APL.
