Multizentrische prospektive kontrollierte Studie zur Therapie der chronisch myeloischen Leukämie. Vergleich von Busulfan, Hydroxyurea und Interferon alpha (Stand April 1990)

Abstract: In einer multizentrischen Studie wird geprüft, ob der Einsatz von Hydroxyurea oder von Interferon alpha anstatt von Bulsulfan die Dauer der chronischen Phase bei Patienten mit Philadelphia-Chromo-som-positiver CML verlängert. Zusätzliche Ziele sind die Prüfung, ob sich der Typ der Krankheitsevolution und die terminalen Phasen bei den verschiedenen Therapiegruppen unterscheiden, sowie die pro-, spektive Erkennung von Prognosekriterien für die Dauer der chronischen Phase. Bis zum 5.9.1990 waren 593 CML-Patienten… Show more

“…The key developments which significantly altered the outlook for patients with C M L can be summarized as follows: Radio therapy of the spleen -until then a widely used and moderately successful treatment of C M L -was largely abandoned after a study of the British Medical Research Council published in 1968 had shown that busulfan therapy resulted in better overall survival, mostly due to postponement of the terminal blast crisis [1]. Although another cytostatic agent namely hydroxyurea had already been described in the mid sixties as a possibly advantageous alternative to busulfan, it was only recently that the German C M L Study Group was able to prove that the use of hydroxyurea instead of busulfan confered a significant survival advantage [2]. The most recent milestone in the history of therapy of C M L was the introduction of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) into clinical practice.…”
