Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Presence of acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB-M3) according to the FAB classification in a patient aged < 19 years at diagnosis. APL is diagnosable and AML-P17 registration is possible if the morphological characteristics of FAB classification M3 are met. The percentage of blasts in the bone marrow at the time of diagnosis may be less than 20%. (2) A test for PML::RARA gene rearrangement must be done using PCR or FISH. (3) Untreated new patients or patients who have begun treatment with ATRA and/or DEX for APL-DS within 3 days. However, steroid administration and a single intrathecal administration of methotrexate are both permitted if ALL is suspected. (4) Performance or scheduling of one of the following tests at the time of the initial consultation: chromosome testing, FISH, PCR If the specimen cannot be submitted due to a holiday, etc., it should be submitted at the earliest opportunity (a peripheral blood sample is also acceptable). In the latter case, a sample obtained after the start of ATRA may be used. (5) The ECOG performance status (PS) score or the JPLSG Infantile Leukemia Committee PS score of 0 to 3. However, a PS score of 4 is still eligible if the cancer is thought to be AML. (6) Patients with sufficient organ function who meet the following two conditions based on test values obtained within 7 days of case registration:* T-Bil value< 3 times the upper limit of the age-specific test standard value. Creatinine value< 3 times the upper limit of the age-specific test standard value. *Cases in which the abnormality is thought to be caused by leukemia and improves with leukemia treatment. Patients may be eligible if there is a high probability that they will fulfill both criteria. (7) Written consent for trial participation obtained from the applicant or his/her legal guardian.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients with secondary APL after anticancer drug therapy or radiation therapy. (2) t(15;17)(q22;q12)-negativity and PML::RARA fusion gene negativity (the test results must be confirmed at the registration stage). (3) Presence of an uncontrolled infection, including active tuberculosis, HBV infection, HCV infection, and HIV antibody-positivity. (4) Patients who are pregnant; may become pregnant; or are breastfeeding. (5) A history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation. (6) A history of congenital or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. (7) Presence of an organ disorder interfering with study treatment. a) Presence of uncontrolled heart failure (heart disease alone is not excluded) b) Presence of uncontrolled renal failure c) Presence of respiratory failure requiring ventilator management d) Presence of CTCAE ver 5.0 grade 3 or higher intracranial hemorrhage (8) QTfc prolongation (450 msec or more) or a personal or family history of long QT syndrome (9) Other reasons deemed unsuitable for participation by the attending physician.
