[Intensive combined therapy for high-risk ALL patients]
Abstract:
In the risk-adapted multicenter trial (02/84) for adult ALL the effectiveness of a consolidation therapy consisting of VM26 and Ara-C for high-risk patients was tested. Out of a total of 442 patients in the study, 79.2% achieved a complete remission. For the 182 high-risk patients the median remission duration is 17 months and the probability of being in continuous complete remission (CCR) is 34%. Improved results were found for elderly ALL patients between 35 and 65 years of age, whose median remission duration and CCR rate are 19 months and 40% respectively, compared to 15 months and 26% in the former study 01/81. The consolidation therapy has apparently also benefited patients with the immunological subtype c-ALL, for whom the CCR rate at 3 years is 53% in comparison to the previous value of 34%.
