If complete remission (CR) =

  • ANC >103,
  • plt >100,
  • no RBC Rx,
  • <5% BM blasts; 
  • CR ≠ cure

  • Favorable risk: high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC)
  • Intermediate/Poor risk: Allo-HSCT
  • Consider maintenance azacitadine if cannot complete curative intent Rx (NEJM 2020;383:2526)

Refractory/relapsed disease

  • Repeating mutation analysis b/c clonal evolution common
  • FLT3-ITD/TKD mutation: gilteritinib (potent FLT3 inhibitor)
  • IDH1 mutation: ivosidenib; 
  • IDH2 mutation: enasidenib (small-molecule inhib of IDH1 or 2)

Chemo

  • MEC (mitoxantrone, etoposide, Ara-C)
  • FLAG-Ida (fludarabine, Ara-C, G-CSF, & idarubicin)
  • CLAM (clofarabine, Ara-C, mitoxantrone)
