Ten years after the first clinical studies, the clinical impact of myeloid growth factors in acute myeloid leukemia is still unclear. One of the objectives of the Groupe Ouest-Est Leucémies Aigues Myeloblastiques (GOELAM) 2 trial was to evaluate the benefit of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) given only after the two courses of intensive consolidation chemotherapy (ICC) used to maintain complete remission (CR).
One hundred ninety-four patients who were in CR after induction treatment were randomly assigned to receive G-CSF (100 patients) or no G-CSF (94 patients) after two courses of ICC (ICC 1, high-dose cytarabine plus mitoxantrone; ICC 2, amsacrine plus etoposide). G-CSF (filgrastim) was administered from the day after chemotherapy until granulocyte recovery at a daily dose of 5 microg/kg.
In the G-CSF group, the median duration of neutropenia (< 0.5 x 10(9)/L) was dramatically reduced, both after ICC 1 (12 v 19 days, P <.001) and after ICC 2 (20 v 28 days, P <.001). The median duration of hospitalization was also significantly shorter in the G-CSF group (24 v 27 days after ICC 1, P <.001; 29 v 34 days after ICC 2, P <. 001). The median duration of intravenous antibiotics was significantly reduced after ICC 1 and ICC 2, and the median duration of antifungal therapy was significantly reduced after ICC 1. However, the incidence of microbiologically documented infections, the toxic death rate, the 2-year disease-free survival, and the 2-year overall survival were not affected by G-CSF administration. Moreover, the median interval between ICC1 and ICC2 was reduced by only 2 days, and the number of patients undergoing ICC2 was not increased in the G-CSF arm.
G-CSF should be administered routinely after ICC to reduce the duration of neutropenia and hospitalization. However, G-CSF did not seem to significantly increase the feasibility of this two-course program or modify overall outcome.
在首次临床研究开展十年后,髓系生长因子在急性髓系白血病中的临床影响仍不明确。东西方急性髓系白血病协作组(GOELAM)2试验的目标之一是评估仅在用于维持完全缓解(CR)的两个疗程强化巩固化疗(ICC)后给予粒细胞集落刺激因子(GCSF)的益处。
194例诱导治疗后处于CR的患者在两个疗程的ICC(ICC 1,大剂量阿糖胞苷加米托蒽醌;ICC 2,安吖啶加依托泊苷)后被随机分配接受G-CSF(100例患者)或不接受G-CSF(94例患者)。G-CSF(非格司亭)从化疗后次日开始给药,直至粒细胞恢复,每日剂量为5μg/kg。
在G-CSF组,中性粒细胞减少(<0.5×10⁹/L)的中位持续时间在ICC 1后(12天对19天,P<0.001)和ICC 2后(20天对28天,P<0.001)均显著缩短。G-CSF组的中位住院时间也显著缩短(ICC 1后24天对27天,P<0.001;ICC 2后29天对34天,P<0.001)。ICC 1和ICC 2后静脉使用抗生素的中位持续时间显著缩短,ICC 1后抗真菌治疗的中位持续时间显著缩短。然而,微生物学证实的感染发生率、毒性死亡率、2年无病生存率和2年总生存率不受G-CSF给药的影响。此外,ICC1和ICC2之间的中位间隔仅缩短了2天,G-CSF组接受ICC2的患者数量未增加。
ICC后应常规给予G-CSF以缩短中性粒细胞减少和住院的持续时间。然而,G-CSF似乎并未显著提高这个两疗程方案的可行性或改变总体结局。
