CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Sequential multiagent chemotherapy is not superior to high-dose cytarabine alone as postremission intensification therapy for acute myeloid leukemia in adults under 60 years of age: Cancer and Leukemia Group B Study 9222

چکیده
The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) study 9222 tested the hypothesis that treatment intensification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first remission with multiple chemotherapy agents is superior to high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) alone. We enrolled 474 patients younger than 60 years old with untreated de novo AML. Daunorubicin and cytarabine resulted in complete remission (CR) in 342 patients (72%), and 309 of these patients were randomized to receive one of 2 different intensification regimens. The first regimen consisted of 3 courses of HiDAC. The second regimen consisted of one course of HiDAC, a second course with etoposide and cyclophosphamide, and a third course with diaziquone and mitoxantrone. After a median follow-up time of 8.3 years, the median survival for all randomized patients was 2.8 years (95% CI, 1.9-6.8 years). There was no difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between the 2 regimens (P .66). The median DFS was 1.1 years (95% CI, 0.91.7 years) for patients receiving HiDAC and 1.0 year (95% CI, 0.9-1.3 years) for those receiving multiagent chemotherapy. Cytogenetics was the only pretreatment characteristic prognostic for DFS, but there was no evidence of a differential treatment effect within cytogenetic risk groups. Toxicity was greater with multiagent chemotherapy. These 2 postremission regimens produced similar outcomes. (Blood. 2005;105:3420-3427)

Intensive, myelosuppressive therapy is necessary to maximize outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A comparison was made of 3 aggressive postremission approaches for children and adolescents with AML in a randomized trial, CCG2891.Atotal of 652 children and adolescents with AML who achieved remission on 2 induction regimens using identical drugs and doses (standard and intens...

The treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unsatisfactory, with complete remission (CR) achieved in only approximately 50% and long-term disease-free survival in 10% to 20%. Three hundred eighty-eight patients (60 years of age and older) with newly diagnosed de novo AML were randomly assigned to receive placebo (P) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating fact...

Complete remission and long-term survival rates are low for older adults treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Because of favorable phase 2 data using mitoxantrone and etoposide, we conducted a phase 3 study (SWOG-9333) in which patients over 55 years of age with previously untreated AML were randomized to receive mitoxantrone (10 mg/m2 per day 5) and etoposide (100 mg/m2 per day 5) [ME], o...

Despite improvements in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), approximately 50% of children die of the disease. Clinical trials in adult patients with AML indicate that idarubicin may have superior efficacy when compared to daunorubicin in the remission-induction phases of chemotherapy. We conducted consecutive clinical trials in children with newly diagnosed AML in which daunorubicin ...
