ALFA-0701 was the trial that rescued the first ADC: giving gemtuzumab in three small doses with chemotherapy improved event-free survival without the toxicity that got it withdrawn.
Gemtuzumab 3 mg/m² on days 1, 4, 7. Median EFS 17.3 vs 9.5 months (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.42-0.76); relapse-free survival improved; OS not significantly different in the final analysis (27.5 vs 21.8 months). Lancet 2012; basis of the 2017 US re-approval. Meta-analysis of five trials confirmed OS benefit in favourable- and intermediate-risk cytogenetics.
