Meloni Hematology, Department of Human Biopathology, Universitd 'La Sapienza'; Hematology, Department of Internal Medicine, Universitd Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy Summary Background: Various polichemotherapy regimens, including either high or intermediatedose AraC, are generally utilized to reinduce remission in relapsed AML patients. After achieving second CR, bone marrow transplantation (either allogeneic or autologous) represents the treatment of choice for eligible patients, with the aim of prolonging remission duration and improving diseasefree survival. and methods: fifty AML patients in first hematological relapse were treated with MEC regimen, consisting of a day induction cycle [mitoxantrone mg/mvday, cytarabine (AraC) g/m /day and VP 80 mg/mvday] followed by a day cycle with the same drugs for patients achieving complete remission (CR); allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were planned as postconsolidation treatment. Results: Thirtyfour patients (8%) achieved second CR, (%) died during induction and were refractory. CR rate was significantly higher in patients with a first CR lasting > months (8% vs. %, P < 0.00). Out of the patients in CR after the day cycle, 8 (5%) were not eligible to transplant and did not receive any further therapy and (7%) received autologous (5 cases) or allogeneic ( case) BMT at a median time of months from second CR. Twentytwo patients relapsed after a median time of months (range ), patient died from transplantrelated toxicity and are in continuous CR [7 out of (%) in the transplanted and out of (%) in the nontransplanted group]. Overall survival and eventfree survival for the 50 patients were 9% and 9% at 70 months, respectively. The diseasefree survival for the patients who obtained second CR is 9% projected at 9 months [% at 9 months for transplanted patients versus 8% at 9 months for the remaining 8 patients (P 0.007)]. Conclusions: These results show that MEC followed by highdose postconsolidation treatment is a promising approach in relapsed AML; however, alternative strategies are to be investigated for the relevant fraction of patients that, even achieving second CR, are not eligible for BMT. Key words: acute myelogenous leukemia, autologous bone marrow transplantation Introduction Currently, 0%80% of adult patients and 90% of children with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may achieve complete remission (CR) after induction chemotherapy [5]. Nevertheless, recurrence of the disease remains a major problem. A second CR may be achieved in more than 50% of relapsed patients by the use of one of several chemotherapy programs, most of which include highdose cytarabine (AraC) alone or combined with other drugs; the duration of these remissions is, however, quite short and the probability of prolonged survival with conventional chemotherapy is very poor [0]. Intensive postremission treatments including highdose chemoradiotherapy followed by allogeneic or autologous stem cell reinfusion have been widely utilized to increase the percentage of longterm survivors in second CR [, ]. A leukemiafree survival (LFS) of approximately 5% at 5 years has been reported by the International Bone Marrow Transplantation Registry (IBMTR) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) []. For patients without HLA identical siblings, autologous BMT could represent an alternative treatment; the last retrospective analysis from the European Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry performed on patients autografted in second CR shows a LFS of % at 8 years []. Furthermore, our results in AML patients autografted in second CR using the BAVC conditioning regimen [5] seem very encouraging and have recently been confirmed on a larger series of patients with a longer followup []. In 988, our group started a therapeutic trial of intermediatedose AraC and mitoxantrone plus etoposide (MEC) in patients with advanced AML, which showed that this regimen could be an effective antileukemic treatment with acceptable toxicity. The CR rate was, in fact, 77% for patients treated in first relapse, and more than 90% in those with a first remission lasting more than months (late relapse) [7, 8]. Our two previous reports dealt mainly with the feasibility, toxicity and antileukemic activity of the MEC regimen, in particular with regard to CR rate and duration in different categories of 'highrisk' AML patients. The objective of the present analysis was to evaluate the complete history of the disease in a more homo Downloaded from on 09 April 08
2 9 geneous and consecutive cohort of 50 AML patients, starting from time of first relapse. In particular, our aim was to determine: ) the real probability of becoming longterm survivors for the overall population assigned, at the time of relapse, to a theoretically ideal treatment intensive chemotherapy to induce second CR followed by a myeloablative postconsolidation procedure; ) the fraction of patients who actually will receive a transplant in second CR. Determination of the latter would be particularly useful for obtaining essential figures with respect to the controversial issue of riming of autograft in AML whether in first CR or after relapse. and methods From 988 until 99, all patients referred to our institution for AML in first hematological relapse entered the study. Eligibility criteria were: age less than 70 years, diagnosis of AML excluding M according to the FrenchAmericanBrinsh (FAB) classification, performance status < according to the World Health Organization (WHO) scale [9], bilirubin less than mg/dl, creatinine less than mg/dl, left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 50%, and no evidence of active infection at entry. Written informed consent was obtained from patients or from parents of patients under 8 years of age. The clinical characteristics of patients are detailed in Table. The postremission treatments administered in first CR are detailed in Table. Definition of response CR was defined as a cellular marrow with less than 5% of blasts, a normalization of peripheral blood (PB) counts and a disappearance of all clinical features related to leukemia persisting for more than month. A patient was defined as refractory to the MEC induction regimen if either progression of disease during induction or a persistent bone marrow (BM) blastosis on day +8 was shown. Relapse was defined by a BM blastosis greater than 5% observed at consecutive BM aspirates performed with a week interval. Treatment MEC regimen Consisted of a single day course of mitoxantrone ( mg/m ), etoposide (80 mg/m ) and intermediatedose AraC ( g/m ), administered daily on days through. achieving CR received a consolidation course with the same drugs at the same dosage for days. The drugs were administered according to modalities previously described [8]. Either autologous or allogeneic (if an HLAidentical sibling was available) transplant was planned for all patients still in second CR after recovery from the consolidation MEC cycle, if standard eligibility criteria for receiving myelosuppressive treatments were fulfilled. Autologous BMT The techniques of marrow collection, cryopreservan'on and reinfusion have been previously described [0]. Marrow was collected immediately prior to the start of pretransplant chemotherapy in all but one patient, who received marrow harvested in first CR. Thirteen of 5 patients received BAVC [5] in a preparatory regimen, followed after a day rest by unpurged bone marrow reinfusion. Table. Patient characteristics.

Acyclovir i.v. 5 mg/kg/die was started on day + to prevent herpes virus infection. Intravenous broad spectrum antibiotics were given for fever during aplasia, with the addition of amphotericin B if fever persisted longer than 5 days or if fungal infection was documented. All blood products administered were irradiated with 0 Gy before infusion to prevent graft wmshost reactions. Allogeneic BMT The patients occupied single rooms. The preparatory regimen consisted of busulfan administered orally for consecutive days for a total dose of mg/kg and cyclophosphamide (Cy) administered intravenously at a daily dose of 0 mg/kg for consecutive days []. The donor bone marrow was infused days after the final dose of Cy without manipulation. Reverse isolation and ciprofloxacine were started on the day of infusion and a sterile diet was instituted during neutropenia. To prevent graft vwsushostdisease (GVHD) cyclosporine plus four doses of methotrexate were given. Antimicrobial and transfusional treatments were similar to that previously described for autografted patients. Statistical analysis Overall survival (OS) and eventfree survival (EFS) were calculated from the start of induction therapy: events considered were induction failure and death for OS, plus relapse for EFS. Diseasefree survival (DFS) was evaluated from second CR, and the events considered were relapse and death. The significance of differences observed in proportion was tested by chisquare statistics. Survival curves were calculated according to the KaplanMeier method, with results expressed as percentages ± standard error (). The significance of differences between actuarial curves was estimated by the logrank test, and twosided lvalues were used throughout []. Toxicity All toxicities were graded according to the WHO grading system [9]. Results Outcome Of 50 patients enrolled in the study, (8%) achieved CR, (%) were refractory but survived induction, and (%) died during induction of infection with hypoplastic marrow. The treatmentrelated toxicities were similar to those previously reported by our group with the MEC regimen [7,8]. The remission rate was % (7 of 7 cases) for patients with a first CR lasting < months (early relapses) versus 8% (7 of cases) for the remaining (late relapses) (P < 0.0). In the subgroup of patients who were transplanted in first CR, the remission rate was 55% (5/9 cases) for late relapses and % (/ cases) for early relapses, with an overall remission rate of 50% (/) versus 7% (8/8) for the nontransplanted patients [P not significant (N.S.)]. Eighteen of the patients in CR after MEC therapy (5%) were not transplanted because of persistent toxic effects ( infections and liver toxicity), refusal ( patients), medical decision ( patients) or relapse prior to the time when logistical problems had to be finalized for transplant ( patients); (7%) received highdose treatment with either autologous (5) or allogeneic () BMT (Table ). Only / transplanted patients had received a previous ABMT in first CR Duration of response For the group as a whole the median duration of second CR was months, and it lasted up to 7 months in the transplanted group ( patients) versus months in the nontransplanted group (8 patients) (Table ). In particular, of the 8 nontransplanted patients relapsed after a median of.5 months from second CR (range, to ), and are in continuous CR with a followup of, 0, 7 and 9 months, respectively. None of them received any further treatment. The median age in this group was 7 years (range, 0 to 9), and the median duration of the first CR was 0 months (range, 5 to 8), lasting > months in 5/8 cases.

4 9 CR ( autologous, allogeneic), with a median followup of 5 months (range, to 9). Eight patients relapsed in the bone marrow at a median of 5 months (range ) after achievement of second CR. The median age of this group was years, ranging from 9 to 5; 9 of the patients were female. The median duration of first CR was 5 months (range to 50), lasting more than months in / patients. Autograft was performed in 5/ patients after a median time of months (range ) from reaching second CR. The conditioning regimens were well tolerated and slight nausea and vomiting occurred during administration of chemotherapy. A median of. x 08 (range, 0. to.) nucleated marrow cells per kilogram of body weight were cryopreserved and reinfused. During aplasia, three patients developed severe oral mucositis (maximum WHO degree ) which resolved at the time of bone marrow engraftment. In 5 cases a parenteral nutrition was required. All patients had fever and started antibiotic treatment: in 8 cases positive blood cultures for bacteria were documented, in particular, staphylococcus ( cases), streptococcus, enterococcus, bacteroides, serratia and fusobacterium (one case each). Antifungine therapy was administered in 8 cases because of persistent fever: in one patient a pulmonary fungal infection was documented which resolved after amphotericin B treatment. One patient showed no evidence of engraftment and on day +97 received a second infusion of bone marrow harvested in first CR. One patient, previously autografted in first CR and conditioned with Bu + Cy, died on day 0 of hemorrhage. Recovery is evaluable in /5 patients. The median time required to attain an absolute neutrophil count in excess of 0.5 x 09/l was 9 days (range, to ). A sustained platelet count exceeding 0 x 07 was reached after a median of days (range, to 5). The allografted patient, transplanted 7 months after achieving second CR, received. x 08 cells per kilogram b.w. and obtained engraftment on day + for neutrophils >0.5 x 09/l and on day +7 for platelets >50xl0 9 /l.
