Prognostic impact of WT1 mutations in cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia: a study of the German-Austrian AML Study Group
Blood Gaidzik et al. 113: 4505

Supplemental materials for: Gaidzik et al

Treatment plans including dosages of cytotoxic drugs of protocols AML HD93, AML HD98-A, and AMLSG 07-04
Protocols AML HD93 and AML HD98-A studies (age 18 to 60 years): induction therapy consisted of one course of ICE (12 mg/m2 idarubicin, d 1, 3, 5; cytarabine 100 mg/m2, continuously d 1–7; 100 mg/m2 etoposide, d 1–3) followed by a second course of ICE started between days 21 and 28 in patients achieving a complete or partial remission, or by a course of a high-dose cytarabine-based regimen in patients with ICE-refractory disease. First consolidation therapy consisted of a course of HAM (3 g/m2 cytarabine every 12 hours, d 1–3; 12 mg/m2 mitoxantrone, d 2+3). Second consolidation therapy for patients with normal cytogenetics differed between the AML HD93 and AML HD98-A trials. In the AML HD93 trial, patients 16 to 54 years of age were assigned to receive a course according to the S-HAM protocol (3 g/m2 cytarabine every 12 hours, d 1, 2, 8 +9; 10 mg/m2 mitoxantrone, d 3, 4, 10+11), whereas patients above the age of 54 years received the less-intensive HAM regimen. In the AML HD98-A trial, patients were randomized either to a second course of HAM or myeloablative conditioning followed by an autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT). In both trials a genetic randomisation was performed in that patients with an HLA-matched family donor were assigned to an allogeneic SCT.

Patients enrolled in the AMLSG 07-04 trial (age 18 to 60 years) were randomized based on a two-by-two factorial design for all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and valproic acid (VPA) into four arms: i) ICE; ii) ICE + ATRA (45 mg/m2; d 6–8, 15 mg/m2; d 9–21); iii) ICE + VPA (mid-fast saturation with VPA i.v. 400 mg bid. d 1+2, followed by serum level adapted p.o. treatment with retard formulation 4 times a day with a target serum level of 50 to 150 mg/l); iv). ICE + VPA + ATRA. Analogous to the AML HD93 and AML HD98-A studies, patients received a double induction therapy. Consolidation therapy consisted of three cycles of high-dose cytarabine (3 g/m2 bid. for 3 days). Again, a genetic randomisation was performed in that patients with an HLA-matched family donor were assigned to an allogeneic SCT.
