Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
There is currently lack of collaborative data on the epidemiology, clinicopathologic features and treatment outcome of newly diagnosed and relapsed APL in Asia. In addition, there is lack of data comparing oral- As2O3-based regimens with other treatment approaches, including intravenous As2O3,in the frontline or relapsed setting. With the long-term data of oral-As2O3 based regimen for APL available from Hong Kong, retrospective and prospective comparison with other treatment approaches in other Asian countries will generate important information to pave the way for widespread application of oral-As2O3 outside Hong Kong.

- description
- The primary outcome measures in this study include the overall survival (OS) and the relapse-free survival (RFS). OS is defined as the time (in months) from diagnosis to death from any cause (event) or latest follow-up. RFS is defined as the time from first complete remission (CR)/complete remission with incomplete haematological recovery (CRi) to first hamatologic relapse or molecular relapse (R1) (event), death from any cause (event) or latest follow-up (censor). CR, CRi, treatment failure, haematologic relapse are defined according to the 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) recommendations. A molecular relapse is defined as recurrence of measurable residual disease (MRD) by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or real-time quantitative PCR (qRT PCR). A single MRD positivity must be confirmed by performing the molecular assay within 2 weeks.
