Outcomes of patients with AML treated with intensive chemotherapy during 1997–2016: A HARMONY Alliance analysis
|
A retrospective analysis assessed the outcomes of patients with AML treated with intensive chemotherapy over four consecutive 5-year calendar periods, 1997–2001 (n = 1,127), 2002–2006 (n = 1,294), 2007–2011 (n = 1,821), and 2012–2016 (n = 1,117), using the HARMONY Alliance database.1 Results from this analysis were published in Haematologica by Sobas et al.1 |
| Key learnings |
| Median OS improved from 15.5 months to 37.8 months over the four calendar periods (p < 0.0001), likely due to a reduction in the early death rate within 60 days of diagnosis from 13.0% to 4.7% (p < 0.0001). |
| Improved OS over time was observed across all patient age groups, genetic risk groups, and in patients treated both with or without allo-HSCT consolidation. |
| Allo-HSCT was associated with a survival advantage in patients aged ≥60 years (p < 0.0001), emphasizing its role as a critical consolidative therapy, even for older populations. |
| Results from this analysis highlighted the improved outcomes in intensively treated patients with AML during 1997–2016, likely due to better therapy management and supportive care, increased referrals for allo-HSCT, and safer application of allo-HSCT in older patients. |
Abbreviations: allo-HSCT, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, AML, acute myeloid leukemia; OS, overall survival.
