Abstract
To study the efficacy and safety of sorafenib combined with low dose cytarabine for treating patients with FLT3(+) relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (FLT3(+) RR-AML). Seven patients with FLT3(+) RR-AML were treated with sorafenib and low dose cytarabine. The curative rate and adverse effects were observed in these patients. Out of 7 RR-AML patients after treatment, 5 patients achieved complete remission (CR), 2 patients achieved partial remission (PR), and the overall response rate (ORR) after one course of therapy was 100%. No severe bleeding, nausea, vomiting and other side effects were found in these patients. Sorafenib combined with low dose cytarabine can effectively induce the remission of FLT3(+) RR-AML patients, and is worth for further clinical trails to verify its safty and efficiency.
