Purpose There has been little survival improvement in older patients with acute myeloid
leukemia (AML) in the last two decades. Improving induction treatment may improve the rate
and quality of remission and consequently survival. In our previous trial, in younger patients,
we showed improved survival for the majority of patients when adding gemtuzumab
ozogamicin (GO) to induction chemotherapy.
