摘要: Low-dose decitabine has encouraging activity and tolerability in adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but paediatric experience is lacking. We report our retrospective eight children young (median age 4 years) refractory/relapsed AML, who had failed multiple regimens or were not candidates for standard retrieval due to prior toxicities. Three of patients (38%) complete response (CR; 1 each CR, CR incomplete platelet recovery count recovery). Best responses observed after a median 2.5 cycles (range 1-4 cycles). Four received subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplant, two remain long-term CR.
