Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, Relapse
Conditions
Keywords
PCR negative
Brief summary
For relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia after all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic treatment, remission can be achieved by chemotherapy with ATRA and/or arsenic and addition of mylotarg. Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negative graft is important treatment option to obtain sustainable remission. This study is to test the efficacy and the safety of conditioning regimen with idarubicin and busulfan for relapsed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL).
Detailed description
Once relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia achieved molecular remission after all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic treatment, PBSC was mobilized and collected with further confirmation of molecular remission via RT-PCR. Patients received autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Interventions
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation and condition with the following: idarubicin 15mg/m2•d day -11 and -10; busulfan 0.8mg/kg•q6h day -6 to -3.
