The purpose of the study was to assess contribution age and disease variables outcome untreated patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving varying intensive induction chemotherapy.Patients 16 85 years primary AML, known karyotype, uniform postremission chemotherapy enrolled onto two consecutive trials were eligible randomly assigned either a standard-dose (cytarabine, daunorubicin, 6-thioguanine) high-dose (cytarabine mitoxantrone) combination, or courses combination. Subgroups...
The phase II CLL2H trial evaluated safety and efficacy of subcutaneous alemtuzumab in patients with fludarabine-refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Clinical biologic markers were for their impacts on outcome.One hundred nine enrolled, 103 received at least one dose alemtuzumab. After escalation, was administered subcutaneously 30 mg three times weekly up to 12 weeks. Response assessed every 4 weeks during treatment quarterly thereafter.The overall response rate 34% (complete...
On the basis of cytomorphology according to French-American-British (FAB) classification, we evaluated prognostic impact dysplastic features and other parameters in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We also assessed clinical significance recently introduced World Health Organization (WHO) classification for AML, which proposed dysplasia as a new parameter classification.We analyzed prospectively 614 patients with all whom were diagnosed by central morphologic analysis treated within...
Intensification by high-dose cytarabine in postremission or induction therapy and prolonged maintenance are established strategies to improve the outcome patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Whether additional intensification can add this effect has not yet been determined.A total of 1,770 (age 16 85 years) de novo secondary AML high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) were randomly assigned upfront for containing one course standard dose cytarabine, two courses same step received...
To examine the efficacy of prolonged maintenance chemotherapy versus intensified consolidation therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Eight hundred thirty-two (median age, 54 years; range, 16 to 82 years) de novo AML were randomly assigned receive 6-thioguanine, cytarabine, and daunorubicin (TAD) plus cytarabine mitoxantrone (HAM; 3 g/m2 [age < 60 years] or 1 > = x 6) induction, TAD consolidation, monthly modified years, TAD-HAM-TAD one course intensive sequential HAM (S-HAM)...
In order to evaluate the natural history of essential thrombocythaemia (ET), clinical data and prognostic factors 143 patients with ET were retrospectively analysed (mean observation time 6.1 ± 4.6 years). 42 early phase disease initial platelet counts between 250 600 × 10 9 /l was assessed. most cases, suggested by symptoms (79%) increased megakaryopoiesis (95%) abnormal megakaryocytes in bone marrow histology ( n = 34) cytology 5). Other myeloproliferative disorders reactive thrombocytosis...
Abstract BACKGROUND. In patients with advanced‐stage follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell (MCL), conventional chemotherapy remains a noncurative approach, no major improvement in overall survival has been achieved recent decades. METHODS. The German Low‐Grade Lymphoma Study Group performed randomized trial comparing combined cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, prednisone (CHOP) mitoxantrone, chlorambucil, (MCP) as first‐line therapy for FL or MCL. RESULTS. Three hundred...
