Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients witht(8;21) aberration often have favorable outcomes, however, relapse still occurs in 30–40% patients, with only 50–60% of patients witht(8;21) AML cured with regimens containing high‐dose cytarabine (HD‐Ara‐C). To evaluate the effects of fludarabine and cytarabine (FA) consolidation therapy fort(8;21) AML patients, a prospective randomized study was performed. A total of 45 patients witht(8;21) AML after achieving complete remission (CR) were randomly assigned to receive four course consolidation with FA (n= 23) or HD‐Ara‐C (n= 22). Our study showed that at 36‐months, relapse‐free survival (RFS) was 81.73% in the FA arm and 50.73% in the HD‐Ara‐C arm (P= 0.04), overall survival (OS) was 91.1% and 48.4% (P= 0.01) in the FA arm and in the HD‐Ara‐C arm respectively; whereas cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was 18.27% and 47.39%, in the FA arm and in the HD‐Ara‐C arm respectively (P= 0.05). In our study, treatment with FA, MRD2 status (reduction ≥ 3‐log) and absence of c‐kit mutations were identified as independent prognostic factors for lower risk of relapse, improved RFS and OS. We also found RFS for patients without c‐kit mutations was 100% in FA arm, and 57.8% in HD‐Ara‐C arm at 36 months (P= 0.005); OS of both groups at 36 months was 100% and 51.4%, respectively (P= 0.004), suggesting a benefit of consolidation therapy with FA for t(8;21) AML patients, especially, those without c‐kit mutations (Clinicaltrials.org ID NCT# 02024308).
