We prospectively evaluated 2 postconsolidation strategies, administered according to the mobilization outcome, in 72 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) fit elderly patients, achieving complete remission after the first high-dose cytarabine-based induction. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was performed in patients collecting ≥3 × 10(6) CD34(+)/kg and low-dose gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) was performed in poor mobilizers (collecting <3 × 10(6) CD34(+)/kg). Fifty-five patients (76.3%) underwent peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization, after first consolidation, and 24 of 55 (44%) collected >3 × 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg. Among the 55 patients eligible for PBSC mobilization, 7 did not receive the planned treatment, 23 were allocated for ASCT, and 25 were allocated for GO on an intention-to-treat basis. With a median follow-up of 70 months (range, 24 to 124), 20 of 55 patients are alive, 18 of them in continuous complete remission. The 8-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) are, respectively, 35.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 24% to 49.8%) and 31.2% (95% CI, 21% to 43.8%), median OS and DFS were 22 and 16 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, postconsolidation treatment and hyperleukocytosis (WBC > 50,000/μL) significantly predicted OS and DFS, whereas secondary AML was significantly associated with a higher relapse rate (83.4% versus 54% of de novo AML). Patients with hyperleukocytosis had 0% 3-year OS versus the 46% (at 8 years) in patients without hyperleukocytosis (P = .01); 57% of patients in the GO arm are alive at 8 years, compared with 25.4% of patients in the ASCT arm, who had an overall relative risk (RR) of death of 2.6 (95% CI, 1.2 to 5.8; P = .02). DFS at 8 years was 45.3% in patients receiving GO, compared with 26% in ASCT arm (RR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1 to 4.3; P = .05). Our study outlines low feasibility and efficacy of ASCT in elderly AML patients, whereas postconsolidation with GO appears safe and effective in this unfavorable setting.

我们前瞻性评估了2种巩固治疗后的策略,根据动员结果对72例年龄较大且身体状况适合的急性髓系白血病(AML)患者进行治疗,这些患者在首次基于大剂量阿糖胞苷的诱导治疗后实现了完全缓解。对于采集到≥3×10(6) CD34(+)/kg的患者进行自体干细胞移植(ASCT),对于动员效果不佳(采集到<3×10(6) CD34(+)/kg)的患者给予低剂量吉妥珠单抗奥唑米星(GO)治疗。55例患者(76.3%)在首次巩固治疗后接受了外周血干细胞(PBSC)动员,其中24例(44%)采集到>3×10(6) CD34(+)细胞/kg。在55例符合PBSC动员条件的患者中,7例未接受计划治疗,23例被分配接受ASCT,25例按意向性治疗原则被分配接受GO治疗。中位随访70个月(范围24至124个月),55例患者中有20例存活,其中18例持续完全缓解。8年总生存率(OS)和无病生存率(DFS)分别为35.9%(95%置信区间[CI] 24%至49.8%)和31.2%(95% CI,21%至43.8%),中位OS和DFS分别为22个月和16个月。多因素分析显示,巩固治疗后方案和高白细胞血症(白细胞计数>50,000/μL)显著预测OS和DFS,而继发性AML与较高的复发率显著相关(83.4%对比初发AML的54%)。高白细胞血症患者的3年OS为0%,而无高白细胞血症患者的3年OS为46%(8年时)(P = 0.01);GO组8年时57%的患者存活,ASCT组为25.4%,ASCT组的总体死亡相对风险(RR)为2.6(95% CI,1.2至5.8;P = 0.02)。接受GO治疗患者的8年DFS为45.3%,ASCT组为26%(RR,2.1;95% CI,1至4.3;P = 0.05)。我们的研究概述了ASCT在老年AML患者中的低可行性和疗效,而在这种不利情况下,GO巩固治疗似乎安全有效。该研究已在日本大学医学情报网临床试验注册中心(www.umin.ac.jp/ctr)注册,注册号为R000014052。
