Sequential Intensive Chemotherapy Followed by RIC for Refractory and Relapse AML

Summary

Patients with refractory and relapse leukemia had poor outcome even with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In our previous retrospective study, the overall survival is 14.6+/-8.8% while 90% patients eventually relapsed with marrow ablative conditioning mostly standard iv-Bu-Cy or Cy-TBI. The accumulated TRM is 29.5+/-11.5%. Thus our data suggested that the conventional transplantation approach may not be able to overcome the refractory disease. A new strategy to combined a low dose regimen following intensive chemotherapy for tumor reduction seems to be effect in both relapsed. high-risk and refractory AML or ALL. In this study, we focus on a new treatment strategy for particular refractory AML patients.
