Popis: The azanucleotide decitabine is used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Studies have shown conflicting results with 10-day regimens used in previously untreated AML patients. Additionally, there is little data on 10-day decitabine regimens in the relapsed setting. This study investigated outcomes of 108 adult patients with AML in the upfront and relapsed setting treated with a 10-day decitabine regimen. In the upfront group, the overall response rate (ORR, CR + CRi) was 36.1% and the median overall survival (OS) was 6.6 months, while the relapsed/refractory group had an ORR of 25% with an OS of 4.8 months. When analyzed with respect to cytogenetics, the upfront group featured an ORR of 28.1% with an OS of 9.4 months in the intermediate cytogenetic cohort compared to a 40.5% ORR and an OS of 5.4 months in the unfavorable cytogenetic cohort. An analysis of the relapsed/refractory group demonstrated an ORR of 26.3% with an OS of 7.9 months for intermediate cytogenetics versus 25.0% with an OS of 1.8 months in the unfavorable cohort. While these response rates are similar to previously published data, the median OS appears shorter.
