Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Treatment of Chidamide and Venetoclax for Retinoic Acid and Arsenic Resistant Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

Study Description

Brief Summary: Based on the current treatment with retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic (As), most patients with APL achieved long-term survival. There are few patients relapsed and became refractory to the RA and As treatment. In our pre-clinical study, we found that targeting histone deacetylase inhibitor 3 (HDAC3)degraded PML-RARa oncoprotein and induced differentiation and apoptosis of RA and As resistant APL in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of combination therapy for HDAC3 inhibitor and venetoclax in patients with refractory APL.

Detailed Description: For patients with newly-diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the combination therapy retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with arsenic (As) is the mainstay upfront treatment. Most patients enjoy long-term survival with or without chemotherapy. Even though with such good prognosis, there are still some patients relapsed and eventually became refractory to RA and As treatment. In our pre-clinical study, we demonstrate that targeting histone deacetylase inhibitor 3 (HDAC3) could degrade PML-RARa oncoprotein and induce differentiation and apoptosis of RA and As resistant APL in vitro and in vivo. In this multi-center prospective study, we evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of combination therapy for HDAC3 inhibitor (chidamide) and venetoclax in patients with refractory APL.
