ABSTRACT
A significant proportion of events in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are caused by resistant disease (RD). We investigated clinical and biological characteristics in 66 patients with RD from 1013 children with AML registered and treated according to the NOPHO-AML 93, NOPHO-AML 2004, DB AML-01 and NOPHO-DBH AML 2012 protocols. Risk factors for RD were age10 years or older and a white-blood-cell count (WBC) of 100 × 109 /L or more at diagnosis. The five-year overall survival (OS) was 38% (95% confidence interval [CI] 28%-52%). Of the 63 children that received salvage therapy with chemotherapy, 59% (N = 37) achieved complete remission (CR) with OS 57% (95% CI 42%-75%) compared to 12% (95% CI 4%-35%) for children that did not achieve CR. Giving more than two salvage chemotherapy courses did not increase CR rates. OS for all 43 patients receiving allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was 49% (95% CI 36%-66%). Those achieving CR and proceeding to HSCT had an OS of 56% (95% CI 41%-77%, N = 30). This study showed that almost 40% of children with primary resistant AML can be cured with salvage therapy followed by HSCT. Children that did not achieve CR after two salvage courses with chemotherapy did not benefit from additional chemotherapy.
