title: Phase II trial of active immunotherapy of acute myeloid leukemia.
abstract: 18 acute myeloid leukemia patients were submitted to a Phase II active immunotherapy trial. The median duration of complete remission (CRD) (60 weeks) and of survival after remission (SAR) (104 weeks) were longer than those for our historical control groups. However, the CRD and SAR curves were not broken to form a "cure expectancy" plateau, as was the case for acute lymphoid leukemia.
