Abstract
We designed a phase II study evaluating the upfront combination of clofarabine and daunorubicin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients≥60 years old. The median age of the 21 patients was 69 (range 60-85) years. Fourteen patients (67%) had unfavorable risk features. The principal toxicities were grade ≥3 infections and prolonged myelosuppression. Three (14%) deaths occurred from infectious complications. Six (28.6%) patients achieved complete remission including three (21.4%) of 14 patients with unfavorable AML. The median disease-free survival was 6.8 months and the median overall survival was 11.2 months.Entities:
