Regimen, modified ABFM

Study Evidence Comparator Efficacy
See note (COG AALL1231) Phase III Daunorubicin, L-Asparaginase, Vincristine, Dexamethasone, Bortezomib TBD

Note: this regimen is available as a COG protocol but no manuscript has been published yet, to our knowledge. Per the protocol, it is intended only for patients greater than 1 and less than 31 years of age. It is based on the UKALL 2003 backbone, although there are some differences.

Chemotherapy

CNS prophylaxis

  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) as follows:
    • Ages 1 to 1.99: 30 mg IT once on day 1
    • Ages 2 to 2.99: 50 mg IT once on day 1
    • Age 3 and older: 70 mg IT once on day 1
  • Methotrexate (MTX) as follows:
    • Ages 1 to 1.99: 8 mg IT once per day on days 8 & 29
    • Ages 2 to 2.99: 10 mg IT once per day on days 8 & 29
    • Ages 3 to 8.99: 12 mg IT once per day on days 8 & 29
    • Age 9 and older: 15 mg IT once per day on days 8 & 29

4-week course

Treatment followed by cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, pegaspargase, vincristine consolidation. Bone marrow biopsy is required after induction, to determine post-consolidation risk stratification and therapy.

Cyclophosphamide, Daunorubicin, L-Asparaginase, Vincristine, Prednisone

back to top

Asparaginase (Elspar) was discontinued by the manufacturer in December 2012, and is now essentially out of stock. Alternatives include Pegaspargase (Oncaspar) or Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi (Erwinaze).

Regimen, "Pediatric-like GRAALL reinforced induction"

Study Evidence
Lepretre et al. 2015 (GRAALL-LYSA LL03) Phase II

Note: This regimen was meant for patients less than 60 years old (up to age 59). Regimen is as per the GRAALL-2003 Study with some minor differences. High-risk patients with an HLA sibling-matched donor or a fully matched (10/10) unrelated donor who achieved CR1 were offered allogeneic stem cell transplant.
