High-dose cytarabine induction for acute myeloid leukemia.
In a recent article, Bishop et al’ state that high-dose cytarabine has not previously been used as induction for untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In fact, high-dose cytarabine has been used by itself: with am~acrine,~ and with daunorubicin4 in this role. Additionally, doses of cytarabine significantly above those considered standard had previously been used by other groups for initial in...
متن کاملRetrospective Comparison of Fludarabine in Combination With Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine Versus High-Dose Cytarabine As Consolidation Therapies for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
This retrospective study compared efficacy and safety of fludarabine combined with intermediate-dose cytarabine (FA regimen) versus high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC regimen) as consolidation therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who achieved complete remission. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) based on age (≥ 60, <60 years) and cytogenetics were evaluated from data be...
متن کاملLow-dose cytarabine plus aclarubicin for patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome ineligible for standard-dose cytarabine plus anthracycline.
BACKGROUND In order to assess the role of the combination of low-dose cytarabine (Ara-C) plus aclarubicin (CA) in remission induction for patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), we retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of CA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of twenty patients with untreated AML or high-risk MDS who were ineligible...
متن کاملImatinib compared with interferon and low-dose cytarabine for newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia.
BACKGROUND Imatinib, a selective inhibitor of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, produces high response rates in patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have had no response to interferon alfa. We compared the efficacy of imatinib with that of interferon alfa combined with low-dose cytarabine in newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML. METHODS We randomly assigned 1106 patients to ...
متن کاملOutcomes of Six-Dose High-Dose Cytarabine as a Salvage Regimen for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) is associated with poor prognosis and long-term disease-free survival requires allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Limited data exists, regarding the optimal regimen to obtain remission prior to allo-HCT. Single agent high-dose cytarabine (10-12 doses administered every 12 hours) has been previously used as induction ther...
