[Comparation of Clinical Efficacy between Two Regimens of Preexcitation Chemotherapy for MDS-RAEB Patients].

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the efficacy and safely of DAC and CAG/HAG preexcitation chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of patients with MDS-RAEB (refractory anemia with excess blasts, RAEB).

METHODS

The clinical data of 86 MDS-RAEB patients were analyzed retrospectively from February 2014 to February 2018. According to therapeutic regimem, the 86 patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (41 patients) with DAC preexcitation chemotherapy regimen, and group B (45 patients) with CAG/HAG preexcitation chemotherapy regimen; and the disease control effect, effective treatment course, median survival time and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between these 2 groups.

RESULTS

The CR rate and ORR rate were not significantly different between these 2 groups (P＞0.05). The mCR rate in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P＜0.05). The numbers of cases obtained therapeutic efficacy at 2 rd and 3 rd conrse in group A significantly more than those in group B (P＜0.05), but the number of cases obtained efficacy at 1 st course in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P＜0.05). The median OS time was not significanly different between 2 groups (P＞0.05). The duration of neutrophils deficiency in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (P＜0.05). The transfusion volume of red blood cells and platelets in group A was significantly less than that of group B (P＜0.05). The incidence of neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia of III-IV grade at different treatment courses of group A were significantly lower than that in group B (P＜0.05). The incidence of infection of III-IV grade in group A at 3rd treatment course was significantly lower than that in group B (P＜0.05).

CONCLUSION

Preexcitation chemotherapy regimens of DAC and CAG/HAG for the treatment of MDS-RAEB possess the same effects for disease control; application of DAC regimen can efficiently reduce the risk of adverse reaction, but CAG/HAG regimen can be helpful to accelerate the effective process of treatment.
