Pharmacologic maintenance strategies following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia.

Pharmacologic maintenance strategies following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. Leukemia & lymphoma Lee, C. J., Shiraz, P., Muffly, L. 2017; 58 (3): 516-527

Abstract

The use of pharmacologic agents to maintain remission following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a topic of increasing interest and exploration for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This review details published and ongoing studies focused on post-transplant pharmacologic maintenance for AML. While early phase studies have demonstrated the safety and tolerability of various maintenance approaches following HCT, the results of several ongoing randomized prospective studies will be required to determine the clinical efficacy needed to expand this approach from experimental to standard of care.
