Epigenetic Therapy in a Patient With Down Syndrome and Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Journal of Pediatric Hematology/oncology 2019 January
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) associated with Down syndrome (DS-AML) is a unique entity of AML with superior treatment response and overall survival compared with children with non-DS-AML. Despite good outcomes in DS-AML, those who relapse or have refractory disease have poor survival. Successful treatment of these patients is challenged by increased incidence of treatment-related toxicities often encountered with high-dose chemotherapy. Here we report the experience of epigenetic modifying agents (decitabine and vorinostat) followed by fludarabine, cytarabine, and granulocyte colony stimulating growth factor for a child with refractory DS-AML. This combination was well tolerated and resulted in a brief clinical response.
