Treatment of Acute Leukemia Relapse After Allotransplantation
- Conditions
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- Interventions
- Drug: Combined use of azacitidine, valproic acid, hydroxurea and eventually donor leukocyte infusions.
- Registration Number
- NCT01369368
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Bergen
- Brief Summary
Patients with relapse of acute leukemia often only receive supportive therapy. Our hypothesis is that a combination therapy can stabilize the disease for patients with early relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The investigators will combine 5-azacitidine 100 mg daily subcutaneously (days 1-3), valproic acid (continuous therapy from day 1), All-trans retinoic acid (days 1-14) and hydroxurea (continuous treatment from day 15 of first cycle. Azacitidine and ATRA can be repeated with 5 weeks intervals, donor leukocyte infusions on day 10 is allowed from the second cycle.
