Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of cladribine in the treatment of patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods The data of 8 patients with refractory/relapsed AML treated with regimens containing cladribine at a dose of 5 mg/m2 per day for 5 consecutive days were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy and adverse reactions were observed during treatment. Results Among the 8 patients, 5 patients achieved complete remission (CR), 1 patient achieved partial response (PR), and 2 patients obtained non remission (NR). The adverse reactions could be tolerated. Conclusion Regimen containing cladribine is an effective treatment procedure for the patients with refractory/relapsed AML, and its adverse reactions can be tolerated, which requires further clinical study.
