✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Eleven patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia in relapse were treated with L‐asparaginase and cytosine arabinoside (1‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosylcytosine) in induction therapy and the same drugs plus cyclophosphamide in maintenance therapy. Three patients had complete remissions lasting 6, 16, and 78+ weeks. One patient experienced partial remission and four had decreased bone marrow or peripheral blasts but were not clinically improved. The responses, which were brief, lasted 1‐16 weeks with one exception of 78+ weeks. Four patients had allergic reactions to L‐asparaginase that were unpredictable with assays of antibodies against L‐asparaginase.

A remission-induction regimen for childhood leukemia using cyclophosphamide, asparaginase, vincristine, and prednisone (CAVP) was compared to standard vincristine-prednisone (VP) induction. The more intensive regimen was associated with a lower complete remission rate (81% vs 93%) and a higher early

Courses of cytosine arabinoside followed by L-asparaginase were administered for 4 days each to 17 children with previously treated acute lymphatic leukemia, at 14to 27-day intervals. Complete or partial remission occurred in 81% of patients after the third or fourth course of therapy. Rlaintenance
