Arsenic plays a key role in cure of APL Introduction (ATO: arsenic trioxide) Chen SJ, et al. Blood 2011;117:6425 Shen ZX, et al. PNAS 2004;101:5328 Hu J, et al. PNAS 2009;106:3342 Sanz MA, et al. Blood 2010;115:5137
Intravenous vs. Oral arsenic Introduction Intravenous arsenic Oral arsenic • Effective • convenient : oral • Outpatients Lu DP, et al. Blood 2002; 99:3136 Xiang Y, et al. Chin J Clin Hematol 2007;16:204 Wang L, et al. PNAS 2008;105:4826 Effective inconvenient : iv Inpatients
Introduction Question • No randomised controlled trial to answer whether oral arsenic has similar efficacy and safety with intravenous arsenic in treating APL.
Purpose of our study Introduction To demonstrate oral arseniccan be used in place of arsenic trioxide as first-line treatment in newly diagnosed APL Multicenter, randomised controlled trial
Methods Design • Chinese APL Cooperative Group(7Centers) • Multicenter, randomised controlled trial: APL07 (registered number ChiCTR -TRC-12002151) • Enrollment :2007.11 to 2011.09 • Last follow-up: 2012.09 (median 32 months)
Methods Arsenic used in our study • Control group: intravenous arsenic trioxide(As2O3, ATO) • Trial group: oral tetra-arsenic tetra-sulphide formula (As4S4; Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula, RIF) Lu DP, et al. Blood 2002; 99:3136 Xiang Y, et al. Chin J Clin Hematol 2007;16:204 Wang L, et al. PNAS 2008;105:4826
Methods Inclusion Criteria • de novo APL • Age :15-60 years • WBC <50×109/L before treatment • Adequate hepatic and renal function • Performance Status score 0-2 • Able to provide written informed consent
Trial Design Methods RIF: Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula ATO: Arsenic trioixide ATRA: all-trans retinoic acid HA: homoharringtonine ; cytarabine MA: mitoxantrone ; cytarabine DA: daunorubicin ; cytarabine
Methods Induction Therapy • RIF: 60 mg/kg, d1-CR • ATO : 0.16 mg per kg , d1-CR • ATRA: 25 mg/m2, d1-CR • Mitoxantrone 1.4 mg/m2, for 5-10 days
Methods Consolidation Therapy • HA homoharringtonine 2 mg/m2 for 7 days cytarabine 100 mg/m2 for 5 days • MA mitoxantrone 6 mg/m2 for 3 days cytarabine 100 mg/m2 for 5 days • DA daunorubicin 40 mg/m2 for 3 days cytarabine 100 mg/m2 for 5 days
Methods Maintenance Therapy • RIF: 60 mg/kg, for14 days • ATO : 0.16 mg per kg, for14 days • ATRA: 25 mg/m2, for14 days
Methods Endpoints • Primary endpoint: ` Disease-Free Survival (DFS) • Second endpoints: Complete remission (CR) Overall survival (OS) Safety

RIF ATO RIF ATO Induction Maintenance Results Similar liver toxicity
25% 19% RIF ATO Similar differentiation syndrome
Conclusions • Oral arsenicachieves similar efficacy and safety when compared to intravenous arsenic trioxide • Our results suggest that arsenic/ATRA/ chemo combination might be an alternative to current frontline treatment of APL
