[Low-dose cytarabine ocfosfate therapy in an elderly acute myelogenous leukemia].
    Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 1995, Volume: 22, Issue:6

    A 71-year-old man was admitted for severe anemia. Bone marrow puncture revealed 48% of blast cells. A diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML-M 4) was made. As the patient was old, we administered 300mg of cytarabine ocfosfate (SPAC) for 21 days. Blast cells in bone marrow decreased 5.6%, and SPAC was considered effective. We treated him with the same dose of SPAC for 14 days after a 21-day interval from the end of the first treatment. Although leukemic cells were still seen in bone marrow after two treatments, we considered him in partial remission, and he was discharged. After discharge, the hematological findings remain almost normal with intermittent treatment of 150 mg of SPAC for over one year. Thus, cytarabine ocfosfate might be useful in elderly AML patients.

[Successful treatment of acute myelomonocytic leukemia developed from MDS with cytarabine ocfosfate (SPAC)].
    Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 1995, Volume: 22, Issue:3

    A 65-year-old female with acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMMoL) developed from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), successfully treated with cytarabine ocfosfate (SPAC) is reported. Ubenimex, calcitriol and corticosteroid had a minor effect on her MDS. Since she had severe anemia and congestive heart failure on developing leukemia, she was treated with oral administration of SPAC, a cytidine deaminase resistant derivative of Ara-C. After the second course of SPAC (200 mg/day, for 14-28 days), marked erythroid bursts were found and she entered complete remission. The samplings of SPAC and its metabolites of SPAC were investigated in 2 cases including this case, but there seemed to be no relation between their content and effects. In AML patients, especially in cases developed from MDS, SPAC might be useful because it can be given orally even in an outpatient.
