Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Arsenic and All-trans Retinoid Acid

Registration Number
NCT05297123
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University
Brief Summary

The clinical trial was designed to prove that Arsenic plus ATRA possibly had an effect on improving the symptoms, reducing the early mortality rate and prolonging the total survival time of patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML.

Detailed Description

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with a highly variable prognosis and an overall high mortality rate. The 5-year overall survival of adult AML patients is less than 50%, and only 20% of elderly patients survive over 2 years. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) accounts for 10% - 15% of acute myeloid leukemia. Arsenic and ATR...

GroupInterventionDescription
ATRA/arsenic GroupArsenic TrioxideATRA 20mg 3 times a day for 8 weeks Arsenic can be given intravenously (ATO) or oral Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula(RIF) ATO 0.15mg/kg/d for 8 weeks (If the total daily amount is greater than 10mg, only 10mg/d can be given) RIF 60 mg/kg/d for 8 weeks The total dose can be appropriately adjusted according to the side-effects of the drug. 4 weeks for 1 course. If the patient has obvious side effects, the treatment should stop for 2 weeks. Each patient will be received at least two courses. Quality of life assessments are performed every 2 months. After the end of the course of treatment, the condition is mainly evaluated based on the platelet count and bone marrow smear. If the treatment is effective, the above regimen can be continued; if not, the study is withdrawn.
