Conventional chemotherapy for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) remains unsatisfactory, with median survival ranging from 18 weeks following first relapse to six weeks in those with a second or higher relapse. The only potentially curative therapy is stem cell transplantation. Duration of first complete remission (CR) is the best predictor of response to salvage therapy. Novel therapies directed against a number of molecular aberrations associated with AML are being developed, including anti-CD33 monoclonal antibodies, FMS-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) inhibitors, nucleoside analogues, hypomethylating agents and histone deacetylatase inhibitors, among others. Clinical trials combining novel agents with conventional chemotherapy are of particular interest, and definition of dose, schedule and combination partners remains an area of intense research.
