Benefit of high-dose cytarabine (HD-AraC) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains unknown. We retrospectively analyzed data from 79 non-core-binding-factor AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT in their first complete remission (CR1). In univariate analysis, HD-AraC (≥4 g/m/day) before allo-HSCT improved disease-free survival (DFS) ( = .018), overall survival (OS) ( = .029), and cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) ( = .033). Four-year DFS, OS, and CIR of patients receiving and not receiving HD-AraC were 79% vs. 49%, 82% vs. 56%, and 18% vs. 42%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, HD-AraC was a positive prognostic factor for DFS (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.36, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.14-0.88), OS (HR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.99), and CIR (HR = 0.38, 95% CI; 0.14-1.0). Our study demonstrates that HD-AraC before allo-HSCT at a dose ≥4 g/m/day is effective for treating AML patients in CR1.
在异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)前接受高剂量阿糖胞苷(HD-AraC)治疗急性髓系白血病(AML)的益处尚不清楚。我们回顾性分析了 79 例在首次完全缓解(CR1)期接受 allo-HSCT 的非核心结合因子 AML 患者的数据。在单因素分析中,allo-HSCT 前接受 HD-AraC(≥4g/m/day)可改善无病生存(DFS)(=0.018)、总生存(OS)(=0.029)和复发累积发生率(CIR)(=0.033)。接受和未接受 HD-AraC 的患者的 4 年 DFS、OS 和 CIR 分别为 79%比 49%、82%比 56%和 18%比 42%。在多因素分析中,HD-AraC 是 DFS(风险比(HR)=0.36,95%置信区间(CI):0.14-0.88)、OS(HR=0.37,95%CI:0.14-0.99)和 CIR(HR=0.38,95%CI:0.14-1.0)的阳性预后因素。我们的研究表明,allo-HSCT 前接受≥4g/m/day 的 HD-AraC 治疗 CR1 期 AML 患者是有效的。
