  2. Overview • Acute leukemia • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia • Lymphoma • Myeloma

  3. #6504 : Results from a randomized phase III trial of decitabine versus supportive care or low-dose cytarabine for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed AML • Largest trial to date of this kind: • Decitabine 20mg/m2 IV • Given daily for 5 days q 4 weeks • Best supportive care (physician discretion) or, • Low-dose cytarabine 20mg/m2 SQ • Given daily for 10 days q 4 weeks • Age 65 and older

  4. #6504 : Results from a randomized phase III trial of decitabine versus supportive care or low-dose cytarabine for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed AML Treatment Arm n Duration of Rx median OS CR+CRp Decitabine 242 4.4 7.7 (6.2-9.2) 18% BSC / cytarabine 243 2.4 5.0 (4.3-6.3) 8% OS was not different (p=.10) at the time of planned interim analysis. OS was different after updated follow up, however, nominal p = 0.03 in favor of the decitabine arm. AEs were similar in both arms – Grade 3 and 4 hematologic toxicities and febrile neutropenia were most common

  5. n=53 pts (med age 74) with newly diagnosed AML Decitabine 20mg/m2 IV days 1-10 64% CR/CRi rate after median 3 cycles PFS median 46 weeks OS median 55 weeks

  6. Comparison of 10 day decitabine vs 5 day decitabine in AML 10 day regimen 5 day regimen
