SINGLE vs DOUBLE ASCT
- Long follow-up is needed before drawing definite
Conclusions (IFM 94, Hovon)
- Current results are in favor of double ASCT
(IFM 94, better EFS in 3 out of 4 studies)
Impact of DOSE-INTENSITY
- However the improvement is modest
7-year EFS is only 20% in the IFM94 trial

paradigm

WHICH PATIENTS BENEFIT MORE
FROM DOUBLE ASCT ?
Arkansas experience
- Patients without any adverse prognostic
factor enjoy durable remission
- Patients with adverse prognostic factors (2m
or LDH, genetic abnormalities) have a
poor outcome despite tandem ASCT
IFM 94 trial
- Double ASCT > single ASCT in different
prognostic subgroups (2m, LDH) although
the difference is not significant (small
numbers)

TOTAL THERAPY II
4 phases of treatment
- intensive induction treatment (VAD, DCEP, CAD,
DCEP) + THAL (role of Thal still unknown )
- double ASCT (HDM 200)
- consolidation CT (DCEP / CAD)
- maintenance treatment (IFN + Dex)

TOTAL THERAPY II
- Preliminary Results (Barlogie, ASH 2003)
· 462 pts enrolled prior to 7/02 compared to 231 pts
treated with total therapy I
· CR and near CR 66% vs 43% (p < 0.001)
· 4-yr EFS 62%
· 4-yr OS 69%
- Comparison with total therapy I
Significant improvement of EFS and OS specially in
