Low-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 کاملToxicity of laromustine plus high-dose cytarabine in patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
We are writing to clarify the interpretation of results contained within a paper by Giles et al.1 In their abstract, the authors state, “The [complete remission] CR rate was significantly higher for the laromustine/[high-dose cytarabine] HDAC group (35% vs 19%, P .005). However, the 30-day mortality rate and median progression-free survival were significantly worse in this group compared with H...
متن کاملHigh-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 کاملCytarabine plus idarubicin or daunorubicin as induction and consolidation therapy for previously untreated adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative merits of idarubicin and daunorubicin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy. Thirty-two sites provided 214 previously untreated adults with AML aged 15 years or more who were randomized to receive for induction therapy cytarabine 100 mg/m2/d as a continuous 7-day infusion plus either daunorubicin 45 mg/m2/d (A + D) or idarubicin 13 mg/m2...
