Medical Research Council Trial for Adult Patients with Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Under 56 years of Age: UKALL XII
Principal Investigator : Dr. R Marcus & Dr. J Keidan
Study Objectives:
To investigate the role of bone marrow transplants in adults aged 15-
55 years with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The outcome of
treatment with allogenic transplantation will be compared with either
myeloablative chemoradiotherapy or intensive consolidation and
maintenance chemotherapy. Patients in whom the Philadelphia
chromosome is detected either cytogenetically or by molecular
biological methods will in addition be eligible to receive an allogenic
bone marrow transplant for a matched unrelated donor (MUD) and to
receive alpha-interferon drug maintenance.

1. INTRODUCTION
The presence of phosphate in protein
molecules was known a century ago, but only in
recent years was its vital functional importance
recognized, and now more and more phosphate-
containing proteins, protein kinases and
phosphoprotein phosphatases continue to be
identified at an ever-increasing rate. Initially it was
thought that the only possible targets for
phosphorylation ...

Medical treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia
(CML): average cost effectiveness ratios of first and
second line treatment.
OBJECTIVE: to determine the average cost-effectiveness ratios of interferon used first line and imatinib used second line in chronic
phase CML.
METHODS: A general cost effectiveness analysis was performed. Therefore, a model consisting of two phases is developed. In an eight
months induction phase (see figure 1) newly diagnosed patients are treated with 2 different doses of IFN and CML-patients refractory to
IFN are treated with imatinib. This phase is followed by a chronic treatment phase in which patients are treated according the result of
the induction phase. Response rates were derived from the imatinib registration study and the study by Liberato et al (JCO, 1997).
During the induction phase 2% of patients treated with imatinib were intolerant and 27.5% of patients treated with IFN. ...
