RWE of 1st Line Treatment With ATO/ATRA for Adult APL

Overview

This is a multicenter, observational real world clinical trial with prospective follow up that will evaluate the treatment outcome of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients in the first line with arsenic trioxide and all trans retinoic acid (ATO/ATRA) based regimens in Argentina.

The purpose of this trial is to gather real world evidence of the characteristics of APL patients in Argentina who receive ATO/ATRA based treatment in first line following our national guidelines. The study primary endpoint is to evaluate event free survival and overall survival of patients diagnosed with APL and treated in first line with ATO/ATRA or ATO/ATRA/Idarubicin (IDA) depending on risk category. Secondary endpoints are complete molecular response (CMR) rate, toxicity, early mortality and prognostic significance of FLT3. Every APL patient diagnosed in our institutions will follow our guidelines with respect to diagnosis procedures. Risk category will depend on white blood cell counts (WBC), where WBC \>10000 will be considered high risk (HR) and \<10000 WBC, low risk (LR). Patients will receive induction with ATO plus ATRA daily until hematologic remission or for a maximum of 60 days, followed by ATO 5 days/week, 4 weeks on 4 weeks off, for a total of 4 courses and ATRA 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for a total of 7 courses. HR patients will receive 2-3 doses of IDA at the beginning of induction. Central nervous system prophylaxis is contemplated for HR pts or those who have SNC bleeding. Molecular response will be evaluated at the end of consolidation by RQ-PCR. LR patients who achieve CMR will not need to repeat molecular evaluations but HR patients will need RQ-PCR evaluation every 3 months during the first year and every 6 months during the second year.
