Résumé

The patients with multisystem and risk organ involvement Langerhans cell histiocytosis (MS-RO + LCH) have poor prognosis. The patients with MS-LCH who failed front-line therapy have a high mortality rate and the standard salvage treatment has not been established. The combination of cytarabine (Ara-c), vincristine (VCR) and prednisone might be effective for refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH, with low toxicity. We retrospectively analyzed pediatric refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH patients treated with the low-dose Ara-c (100mg/m From January 2013 to December 2016, 13 patients receiving the low-dose Ara-c chemotherapy (LAC) and 7 patients receiving the high-dose Ara-c chemotherapy (HAC) were included in the study. 11 (84.6%) of the 13 patients treated with the LAC regimen and 6 (85.7%) of the 7 patients treated with the HAC regimen had response after four courses of the therapy. All patients in the study were alive during follow-up and the 3-year event-free survival rate (EFS) was 53.7% and 85.7% in the LAC and HAC groups. The most frequent adverse event was Grade 1/2 myelosuppression, which was observed in 38.5% (5/13) and 42.9% (3/7) of the patients receiving the LAC and HAC regimen. A combination of Ara-c, VDS and prednisone was effective and safe for some patients with refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH. The high-dose Ara-c regimen was associated with a numerically higher EFS rate.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The patients with multisystem and risk organ involvement Langerhans cell histiocytosis (MS-RO + LCH) have poor prognosis. The patients with MS-LCH who failed front-line therapy have a high mortality rate and the standard salvage treatment has not been established. The combination of cytarabine (Ara-c), vincristine (VCR) and prednisone might be effective for refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH, with low toxicity.
METHODS METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed pediatric refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH patients treated with the low-dose Ara-c (100mg/m
RESULTS RESULTS
From January 2013 to December 2016, 13 patients receiving the low-dose Ara-c chemotherapy (LAC) and 7 patients receiving the high-dose Ara-c chemotherapy (HAC) were included in the study. 11 (84.6%) of the 13 patients treated with the LAC regimen and 6 (85.7%) of the 7 patients treated with the HAC regimen had response after four courses of the therapy. All patients in the study were alive during follow-up and the 3-year event-free survival rate (EFS) was 53.7% and 85.7% in the LAC and HAC groups. The most frequent adverse event was Grade 1/2 myelosuppression, which was observed in 38.5% (5/13) and 42.9% (3/7) of the patients receiving the LAC and HAC regimen.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
A combination of Ara-c, VDS and prednisone was effective and safe for some patients with refractory/relapse MS-RO + LCH. The high-dose Ara-c regimen was associated with a numerically higher EFS rate.
