- To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation from a matched sibling donor is equivalent to a matched unrelated donor in in a second complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
- To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) after chemotherapy (FLAMSA-schema) increases survival compared to a threshold derived from historical data
- To evaluate whether SCT from haploidentical donors for children having no matched donor will result in better survival with acceptable toxicity.

Experimental: 1
Group I: Relapsed AML-patients with blast cell reduction to <20% before the second course of induction therapy. These patients will receive conventional SCT. Group II: Patients with non response to frontline treatment of AML, patients with blast cells <20% before the second course of induction therapy who do not achieve a second remission and relapsed AML-patients with blast cells >=20% before the second course of induction therapy. If these patients have a matched donor (MSD/MD) they will receive SCT with "FLAMSA". Group III: Patients who are eligible for Group II but have no matched donor. These patients will receive SCT from a haploidentical donor. |
Biological: Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood
> = 2 x 10*8 nucleated cells (WBC)/kg body weight of the recipient or rather > = 4 x 10*6 nucleated CD34+ cells / kg body weight are required for engraftment. Suspension of stem cells is administered via intravenous infusion. |
- To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) from a matched sibling donor (MSD) is equivalent to a matched unrelated donor (MUD) in second complete remission (CR2). [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- To evaluate whether "FLAMSA" increases leukemia free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) as compared to a historic control group [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- To evaluate whether SCT from haploidentical donors for children having no matched donor will result in an acceptable toxicity profile and a better LFS as compared to historic controls. [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- Prospective evaluation of event free survival (EFS), LFS, and OS after SCT from either a MSD or a MUD [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- To evaluate whether it is feasible to standardize transplantation procedures in children with AML within the AML-Berlin/Frankfurt/Münster (BFM) study network [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- Decrease of transplantation associated mortality by standardized donor selection criteria [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- To further evaluate the contribution of immunomediated effects for the treatment of children suffering from very high risk AML [ Time Frame: day 100 ]
- Prospective evaluation of late toxicities [ Time Frame: day 100 and year 5 ]
