  • 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

    Abstract:

    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, 0.9-1.7 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.

  • outcome of induction and postremission therapy in younger adults with acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype a cancer and leukemia group b study
    Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Sherif S Farag, Bayard L Powell, Robert J Mayer, Joseph O. Moore, Andrew J. Carroll, Amy S Ruppert, Krzysztof Mrozek, Richard Stone, Mark J Pettenati, Prasad R Koduru
    Abstract:

    Purpose Evaluate the outcome of induction and postremission therapy in adults younger than 60 years with normal cytogenetics acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients and Methods In 490 patients, induction included cytarabine and daunorubicin (AD) or cytarabine and escalated doses of daunorubicin and etoposide ± PSC-833 (ADE/ADEP). Intensification included one cycle of high-dose cytarabine (HDAC) followed by etoposide/cyclophosphamide and mitoxantrone/Diaziquone (group I), three HDAC cycles (group II), four intermediate-dose cytarabine (IDAC) or HDAC cycles (group III), or one HDAC/etoposide cycle and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT; group IV). Results Of 350 patients receiving AD, 73% achieved complete remission (CR), compared with 82% of 140 receiving ADE/ADEP (P = .04). Splenomegaly was associated with a lower CR rate (P < .001), and ADE/ADEP, with a higher CR rate in younger patients (P = .005). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 28% each for intensification groups I and II, compa...

  • patients with t 8 21 q22 q22 and acute myeloid leukemia have superior failure free and overall survival when repetitive cycles of high dose cytarabine are administered
    Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1999
    Co-Authors: John C Byrd, Judith Stamberg, Robert J Mayer, Richard K. Dodge, Colin G Edwards, Maher B. Qumsiyeh, Maria R. Baer, Joseph O. Moore, Andrew J. Carroll, Frederick R. Davey
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: To examine the effect of single compared with repetitive (at least three) cycles of high-dose cytarabine after induction therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have the t(8;21)(q22;q22) karyotype. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients entered onto the study had AML and t(8;21) and attained a complete remission on four successive Cancer and Leukemia Group B studies. In these studies, either ≥ three cycles of high-dose cytarabine or one cycle of high-dose cytarabine was administered, followed by sequential cyclophosphamide/etoposide and mitoxantrone/Diaziquone with or without filgrastim support. Outcomes of these two groups of t(8;21) patients were compared. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients with centrally reviewed AML and t(8;21) were assigned to receive one (n = 29) or ≥ three cycles (n = 21) of high-dose cytarabine as postinduction therapy. The clinical features of these two groups of patients were similar. Initial remission duration for t(8;21) patients assigned to one cycle of high-...

  • granulocyte colony stimulating factor filgrastim accelerates granulocyte recovery after intensive postremission chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia with aziridinyl benzoquinone and mitoxantrone cancer and leukemia group b study 9022
    Blood, 1997
    Co-Authors: Joseph O. Moore, Bayard L Powell, Richard K. Dodge, Philip C Amrein, Jonathan E Kolitz, Edward J Lee, Scott Godfrey, Francisco Robert, Charles A Schiffer
    Abstract:

    This study evaluated the effect of filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]) on the duration of granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia after intensive consolidation therapy with Diaziquone (AZQ) and mitroxantrone for patients less than 60 years of age with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission. Patients less than 60 years of age with AML who achieved complete remission (CR) with daunorubicin and cytarabine induction therapy, were scheduled to receive three sequential courses of high-dose cytarabine, cyclophosphamide/etoposide, AZQ, and mitroxantrone in a pilot study to determine their tolerance of these three sequential consolidation regimens. The initial patients treated with AZQ and mitoxantrone experienced prolonged bone marrow suppression and, therefore, subsequent cohorts were treated with G-CSF, 5 μg/kg, beginning the day after completion of the third cycle of chemotherapy. There was a marked decrease in the duration of granulocytopenia less than 500/μL in two groups of patients receiving two different dose levels of AZQ and the same dose of mitoxantrone compared with patients not receiving the G-CSF. There was also a decrease in the need for hospitalization, as well as the duration of hospitalization. There was a trend towards shortening of the duration of thrombocytopenia, as well. The duration of complete remission and overall survival was similar in patients who received or did not receive G-CSF. G-CSF markedly shortened the duration of granulocytopenia in patients with AML receiving intensive postremission consolidation with AZQ and mitoxantrone. There was no adverse effect on CR duration or survival.
