Brief summary: This randomized phase III trial compares the effectiveness of caspofungin to fluconazole in preventing invasive fungal infections in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Antifungal prophylaxis is considered standard of care in children and adults with prolonged neutropenia after chemotherapy for AML however the ideal antifungal agent for prophylaxis in children is not known. Caspofungin has activity against yeast and some molds while fluconazole coverage is limited to just yeasts. Adult randomized trials suggest that agents with activity against yeasts and molds are more effective than those with just activity against yeasts. There are limited data to answer this comparative question in children. This study will establish much needed pediatric data to guide clinical decision making on optimal antifungal prophylaxis.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if prophylaxis with caspofungin administered during periods of neutropenia following chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with a lower incidence of proven or probable invasive fungal infections (IFI) compared with fluconazole.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if prophylaxis with caspofungin will result in a lower incidence of proven or probable cases of invasive aspergillosis (IA) compared with fluconazole. (Clinical) II. To determine if prophylaxis with caspofungin will result in improved survival compared to fluconazole. (Clinical) III. To determine if prophylaxis with caspofungin will result in less empiric antifungal therapy compared to fluconazole. (Clinical) IV. To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value of biweekly galactomannan (GM) and beta-D glucan testing in diagnosing IFI. (Biological) V. To test the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in innate immunity and proven or probable IFI. (Biological) VI. To develop predictive models of IFI using SNP in genes involved in immunity and clinical covariates. (Biological)

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms during their first chemotherapy course for AML.

ARM I: Patients receive caspofungin acetate intravenously (IV) over one hour once daily (QD) beginning within 24-72 hours following the last dose of chemotherapy for each course. and continuing until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 100-500/uL following the nadir or the next chemotherapy course begins.

ARM II: Patients receive fluconazole IV over 1-2 hours or orally (PO) QD beginning within 24-72 hours following the last dose of chemotherapy for each course.

Protocol prophylaxis was continued in both arms, until ANC increased to \> 100-500/uL following the nadir or the next chemotherapy course began. Prophylaxis was given for all courses of planned AML chemotherapy or until the patient met one of the following off-protocol therapy criteria: development of proven or probable IFI according to institutional diagnosis, initiation of conditioning for hematopoietic cell transplantation, initiation of a new chemotherapy regimen for relapsed or refractory AML, refusal of further protocol therapy by patient, parent or guardian, or physician determines it is in the best interest of the patient.

Regardless of duration of prophylaxis, subjects in both arms are monitored for IFI until the earliest of the following criteria is met: two weeks after recovery of neutropenia following the last planned AML chemotherapy course, initiation of conditioning for hematopoietic cell transplantation, initiation of a new chemotherapy regimen for relapsed or refractory AML, withdrawal of consent for any further data submission, or death.

Patients were followed for overall survival up to two years from enrollment.
