Lowenberg, and M.A. Sanz on behalf of the PETHEMA Group APL meeting 2009, Rome, Italy. Sept. 25 2009
Background Therapeutic results in elderly patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have been generally reported as less effective than for younger patients.
Results of the GIMEMA, European APL Group, and PETHEMA studies 1- Leukemia 2003; 2- Leukemia 2005; 3- Blood 2004
More low-risk among elderly Sanz et al., Blood 2004
Study Aims Update the analysis of the LPA96 and LPA99 trials including a significantly higher number of elderly patients and longer follow-up.

PETHEMA Trials in Elderly PatientsConcluding remarks • This study confirms the high antileukemic efficacy and high degree of compliance of protocols using ATRA and anthracycline monochemotherapy for induction and consolidation therapy in elderly patients. • Induction death remains the most challenging cause of therapeutic failure, especially in patients with WBC >10.000xµL.
PETHEMA Trials in Elderly PatientsConcluding remarks • Consolidation and maintenance chemotherapy was relatively well tolerated in low-risk patients and in younger than 70 years. • “Age-adapted” strategies focusing on decreasing the intensity of chemotherapy, while maintaining the antileukemic efficacy, should be a major objective in future studies.
