Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) associated with core binding factor abnormalities (CBF) is the type of leukemia most responsive to cytarabine (ara-C) therapy and is of relative favorable prognosis. In vitro and ex vivo observations suggest that increases in intra-cellular ara-C levels influenced by administration of fludarabine and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) increase the effect of ara-C; prompting us to clinically evaluate the efficacy of such combinations. We analyzed the event free survival of patients with newly diagnosed CBF AML treated with fludarabine and ara-C (FA) (N=45) or with FA and GCSF (FLAG)(N=22) and compared results to patients treated with regimens consisting of idarubicin and ara-C with or without GCSF (IA/IAG)(N=47). We demonstrate that after accounting for prognostic covariates other than treatment (including year in which treatment was administered); FA, and in particular FLAG, were associated with longer event free survival (EFS) than IA/IAG. Thus our data lends clinical credence to the observed modulation of ara-C by fludarabine and G-CSF.
