Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is generally considered as the only effective treatment for children with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Achieving remission prior to HSCT affects the efficacy of the procedure and patient survival; therefore, induction therapy in children with R/R AML prior to HSCT is very important. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, prognosis and safety of 5‑aza‑2‑deoxycytidine (DAC) combined with homoharringtonine + cytarabine + aclarubicin (HAA regimen) in the treatment of pediatric R/R AML. A total of 53 pediatric patients with R/R AML, aged 1‑14 years, were treated with DAC‑HAA. The overall response rate was 83.1%, with a complete remission rate of 77.4% and a partial remission rate of 5.7%. In conclusion, DAC‑HAA therapy for children with R/R AML was found to be associated with a high remission rate, a short period of bone marrow suppression and a good safety profile. Therefore, DAC‑HAA may be of value as a transitional regimen prior to HSCT and is worthy of clinical consideration.
