Purpose Although standard chemotherapy remains associated with a poor outcome in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it is unclear which patients can survive long enough to be considered as cured. This study aimed to identify factors influencing the long-term outcome in these patients. Patients and Methods The study included 727 older patients with AML (median age, 67 years) treated in two idarubicin (IDA) versus daunorubicin (DNR) Acute Leukemia French Association trials. Prognostic analysis was based on standard univariate and multivariate models and also included a cure fraction model to focus on long-term outcome. Results Age, WBC count, secondary AML, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), and adverse-risk and favorable-risk AML subsets (European LeukemiaNet classification) all influenced complete remission (CR) rate and overall survival (OS). IDA random assignment was associated with higher CR rate, but not with longer OS (P = .13). The overall cure rate was 13.3%. Older age and ECOG-PS more than 1 negatively influenced cure rate, which was higher in patients with favorable-risk AML (39.1% v 8.0% in adverse-risk AML; P < .001) and those treated with IDA (16.6% v 9.8% with DNR; P = .018). The long-term impact of IDA was still observed in patients younger than age 65 years, although all of the younger patients in the DNR control arm received high DNR doses (cure rate, 27.4% for IDA v 15.9% for DNR; P = .049). In multivariate analysis, IDA random assignment remained associated with a higher cure rate (P = .04), together with younger age and favorable-risk AML, despite not influencing OS (P = .11). Conclusion In older patients with AML, younger age, favorable-risk AML, and IDA treatment predict a better long-term outcome.

Abstract The goal of the study was to evaluate long-term outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated within the PALG 1999 DAC vs, DA Study. Between 1999–2002, 445 patients, aged 18–60 years, were randomized to the induction DAC-7: daunorubicin 60 mg/m2/d iv 1–3; cytarabine 200 mg/m2/d ci 1–7; cladribine 5 mg/m2 2h inf. iv d 1–5 or standard DA-7 regimen (the same regimen without cladribine). Patients achieving CR received two courses of subsequent intensive consolidation: 1) HAM (HD AraC, mitoxantrone) 2) HD AraC with or without cladribine in the DAC-7 or DA-7 arm, respectively. In case of PR after the first induction course the same regimen was repeated, NR patients received CLAG (2-CDA, HD-AraC, G-CSF), regardless the randomization arm. Post-consolidation therapy was in both arms comparable. As previously reported, a single course of DAC-7 induction resulted in 17% higher CR rate compared to the DA-7 treatment. The difference was particularly pronounced in a population of patients >40 years and for those with initial WBC >100x109/L. In the latter subgroup also the overall CR rate (achieved after >=1 induction course) was higher in the DAC-7 arm (71% vs. 43%). [Leukemia. 2004 May;18(5):989–97] In the present report we analyzed long-term outcome (median follow-up 3.2 years) in the whole study group and in pre-defined subgroups taking into account initial tumor burden, age, cytogenetics, FAB subtype, and preceding myelodysplasia. At five years the overall survival (OS) rate equaled 31% for DAC-7 and 25% for DA-7 arm (p=0.42) and leukemia free survivall (LFS) 32% vs. 29% (p=0.38), respectively. The subgroup analysis revealed higher probability of the OS in patients with initial WBC ≥100 G/l assigned to DAC-7 compared to DA-7 arm (39% vs. 11%, p=0.02). The LFS rate and the probability of relapse equaled 50% and 32% (p=NS) and 36% and 68% (p=0.0497), respectively. In patients aged >40 years, the therapy containing cladribine was associated with improved LFS (30% for DAC-7 vs. 20% for DA-7, p=0.01), and a tendency to improved OS (28% vs. 18%, p=0.09). In this subgroup DAC-7 therapy resulted in reduced relapse incidence (60% vs. 69%, p=0.04).We conclude that addition of cladribine to induction/consolidation therapy of AML may improve long-term outcome in higher age ranges patients and in those with high tumor burden. The improvement results mainly from reduced risk of relapse, and, in patients with high initial WBC, from higher CR rate.
