A Phase II Study of Lenalidomide Alone in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes With Chromosome 5 Abnormalities

摘要

This phase II study assessed the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (N = 18) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (N = 9) with chromosome 5 abnormalities. The overall complete remission rate with or without platelet recovery was 7% (2/27). Activity of lenalidomide was limited to patients with noncomplex cytogenetics.BackgroundLenalidomide is effective in low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with deletion 5q. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk MDS with any chromosome 5 abnormality.
