Pavlovsky, S. et al.

Combination of rubidazone and cytosine arabinoside in the treatment of first relapse in acute myelocytic leukemia.

This study tested the efficacy of rubidazone and cytosine arabinoside in 35 patients (13 children and 22 adults) with acute myelocytic leukemia in first relapse. Induction consisted of 1-2 courses of rubidazone 200 mg/m2 days x 4 days plus cytosine arabinoside 100 mg/m2 x 7 days in CI followed by 2 consolidation courses of 3 days and 5 days. Nineteen patients (54%) achieved complete remission, 8 failed to respond, and 8 died. Twelve patients relapsed after 1 to 9 months, at a median of 4 months, 1 patient died of cardiac failure and 1 remains in complete remission at 12 months. Five patients underwent bone marrow transplantation, 3 of them autologous, 1 was still in complete remission at 29 months, 1 relapsed, and 1 died of sepsis. Two received allogeneic marrow transplants and died at 3 and 4 months afterwards of VOD and graft failure. The main toxicity was severe and prolonged myelosuppression.[1]
