ASH international clinical collaboration replicates high cure rate of APL in developing countries

"In a very short time period, we observed an extraordinary increase in survival rates of our participants, who, before this trial, might not have had much hope for survival," said Dr. Rego.

The outstanding patient survival rates observed in the IC-APL trial demonstrate the efficacy of this affordable and readily available treatment protocol and are comparable to those observed in studies conducted in developed countries by both the Spanish group Programa para el Estudio de la Teraputica en Hemopata Maligna (PETHEMA, CR: 92.5% and 90%) and the North American Leukemia Intergroup (CR: 90%).

By refining and standardizing diagnostic procedures and implementing a standard-of-care treatment protocol, members of this innovative ASH collaborative have taken the first step toward significantly improving the prognosis of patients with severe and rapidly fatal diseases, such as APL, in developing countries using affordable and available treatments.

"Our initial success truly demonstrates that when we work closely with colleagues from around the world we can close the gap in treatment outcomes between patients in developed countries and those in developing countries. Our next challenge will be to improve the outcome of patients with other types of acute myeloid leukemias," added Dr. Rego, who also serves as the IC-APL's Brazilian national coordinator. "We are also expanding this initiative to additional countries, where we hope to further integrate education and networking and refine our treatment design to determine if we can achieve improved outcomes and possibly translate this model to other diseases."

Based on the initial success of the IC-APL, its governing body voted to expand the collaborative model to address other subtypes of acute leukemias, beginning with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To reflect this change, the cooperative group is now called the International Consortium on Acute Leukemia (ICAL). For more information on ICA
