Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Patients With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (PETHEMA LPA 2005): Remission Induction With ATRA + Idarubicin. Risk-adapted Consolidation With ATRA and Anthracycline-based Chemotherapy (Idarubicin/Mitoxantrone) With Addition of Ara-C for High-risk Patients. Maintenance Therapy With ATRA + Low Dose Chemotherapy (Methotrexate + Mercaptopurine).


Treatment of induction with the simultaneous administration of ATRA (45 mg/m2 day until the
RC) and idarubicine (12 mg/m2 days 2, 4, 6 and 8), 3 monthly cycles of consolidation with
ATRA (45 mg/m2 days 1-15) and idarubicine (5 mg/m2 days 1-4) in the cycle #1, mitoxantrone
(10 mg/m2 days 1-3) in the cycle #2 and idarubicine (12 mg/m2 day 1) in the cycle #3. The
consolidation was reinforced for the group of patients with intermediate risk by means of an
increase of the idarubicine to 7 mg in the cycle #1 and to 2 days in the cycle #3. In the
patients of high risk, the consolidation was reinforced with the addition of altar-c in the
cycles #1 and #3. For the maintenance treatment, one will administer to intermittent ATRA
(15 days every 3 months) and chemotherapy low doses with methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurina
during two years


Inclusion Criteria:



- Age ≤ 75 years.

- ECOG ≤ 3.

- Morphologic Diagnosis of LPA (FAB M3 or variant M3). Those cases without typical
morphology but with PML-RARα reordering also must be including.

- Genetic Diagnosis: t (15; 17) demonstrated by cariotipo conventional, FISH, PML-RARα
reordering detected by RT-PCR or a pattern microspeckled demonstrated with antibody
anti-PML (positive PGM3). Obvious, it will be had the result of these tests once
initiated the treatment on the basis of a suspicion diagnoses morphologic

Exclusion Criteria:

- Age >75 years (the treatment with this protocol can be considered individually)

- Absence of PML-Rare reordering.

- To have received previously some type of treatment for LPA, including chemotherapy or
retinoides. The previous treatment with corticoids, hidroxiurea or leucoaféresis is
not reason for exclusion.

- To have received chemotherapy or x-ray for the treatment of a disease vitiates
previous.

- Associate Neoplasia.

- Serious psychiatric Disease.

- Seropositividad for VIH.

- Contraindication to receive intensive chemotherapy, specially antraciclinas.

- Sérica Creatinina ≥ 2,5 mg/dL (≥ 250 μmol/l).

- Bilirrubina, fosfatasa alkaline, or GOT > 3 times the normal limit

- Test of positive pregnancy.
