Filter by:Based on the current treatment with retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic (As), most patients with APL achieved long-term survival. There are few patients relapsed and became refractory to the RA and As treatment. In our pre-clinical study, we found that targeting histone deacetylase inhibitor 3 (HDAC3)degraded PML-RARa oncoprotein and induced differentiation and apoptosis of RA and As resistant APL in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of combination therapy for HDAC3 inhibitor and venetoclax in patients with refractory APL.
Despite the high cure probability for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a minority of patients will relapse and the risk factors for relapse are unclear. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of induction of oral all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and realgar-indigo naturalis formula (RIF) combined with oral etoposide or daunorubicin as cytoreductive therapies in low-risk APL. The present study was to explored a cytoreduction of an oral etoposide for low-risk APL with dual induction of ATRA and RIF as a high efficacy, low recurrence, and more convenient all-oral regimen.
ATRA is the standard of care for all patients with APL. The use of lower doses of ATRA has been shown since the 1990s to achieve therapeutic efficacy with doses of 25mg/m2/day. ATO demonstrated considerable effectiveness in this disease. More recently, an attenuated regimen has been proven to be effective. In this study we intent to demonstrate the effectiveness of combined therapy of low-dose ATRA plus attenuated dose ATO.
This is a multicenter, observational real world clinical trial with prospective follow up that will evaluate the treatment outcome of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients in the first line with arsenic trioxide and all trans retinoic acid (ATO/ATRA) based regimens in Argentina.
The trial is open to all patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) who are PCR-positive for the PML-RARα transcript and less than 18 years of age.
The investigators have formulated an oral preparation of arsenic trioxide (oral-ATO), and shown that it is efficacious for APL in R1, inducing CR2 in more than 90% of patients [8,9]. Furthermore, in an effort to prevent relapse, the investigators have moved oral-ATO forward to the maintenance of CR1. This strategy results in favorable overall-survival (OS) and leukemia-free-survival (LFS) [10], implying that prolonged treatment with oral-ATO may prevent relapses. Current protocols have incorporated i.v.-ATO in the treatment of newly-diagnosed APL [11-15]. For regimens comprising oral-ATO, ATRA and chemotherapy, 5-year OS in excess of 90% is achieved [11-15]. The investigators have also published long-term data showing the use of oral-ATO is highly effective and safe in the relapsed and frontline settings [16,17]. In this study, the investigators evaluate the use of oral-ATO and ATRA based induction regimens in newly diagnosed patients with APL with no of minimal chemotherapy in a prospective multicentre phase 2 study.
With the introduction of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic,the outcome of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)has been improved considerably over the last decades.However，early deaths (EDs), mainly due to APL-specific coagulopathy, differentiation syndrome (DS)emerge as a major threat to APL patients.We observe and evaluate the effectivity of induction therapy in patients with APL. Administrate intravenous dexamethasone to prevent or preemptive treat DS. Assess the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib as second treatment in patients with severe DS with no respond to dexamethasone.Furthermore，the changes of spectrum of cytokines are monitered to find the relationship between the cytokines and the severity of DS.
There is currently lack of collaborative data on the epidemiology, clinicopathologic features and treatment outcome of newly diagnosed and relapsed APL in Asia. In addition, there is lack of data comparing oral- As2O3-based regimens with other treatment approaches, including intravenous As2O3,in the frontline or relapsed setting. With the long-term data of oral-As2O3 based regimen for APL available from Hong Kong, retrospective and prospective comparison with other treatment approaches in other Asian countries will generate important information to pave the way for widespread application of oral-As2O3 outside Hong Kong.
The therapeutic advantage of the association of ATRA + Arsenic Trioxide is more favorable and manageable as compared to ATRA + chemotherapy. Nevertheless, at present, there is not enough information on the incidence of long-term side effects. This study, as well as other similar studies conducted around Europe, will focus on following patients treated with this therapy on a long-term basis. Once all studies in Europe will be concluded, all data will be analyzed together.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by t(15;17)(q24;21) and the fusion gene PML-RARA. We have formulated an oral preparation of As2O3 (oral-As2O3), and shown that it is efficacious for APL in R1, inducing CR2 in more than 90% of patients. Furthermore, in an effort to prevent relapse, we have moved oral-As2O3 forward to the maintenance of CR1. This strategy results in favorable overall-survival (OS) and leukemia-free-survival (LFS), implying that prolonged treatment with oral-As2O3 may prevent relapses. Current protocols have incorporated i.v.-As2O3 in the treatment of newly-diagnosed APL. In regimens comprising i.v.-As2O3, ATRA and chemotherapy, 5-year overall survivals in excess of 90% is achieved. In this study, we evaluate the use of oral-As2O3 and ATRA based induction regimens in newly diagnosed patients with APL. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of frontline oral arsenic trioxide-based regimen in newly diagnosed patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia
