Low dose daunorubicin will also be deemed not feasible if there is evidence of progression of extramedullary leukemia such progression of chloroma or leukemia cutis. or if the patient experiences uncontrollable nausea and/or vomiting.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: This particular outcome measure requires analysis to be run in the laboratory. This was not performed and therefore there is not data to report.

Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are known to be resistant to chemotherapy which may lead to treatment failure. In vitro studies have shown that targeted anthracycline treatment reduces immune checkpoint expression on LSCs, potentially sensitizing LSCs to cytotoxic T-cells. This will be measured in our study.

Chemotherapy is typically administered at maximum tolerated doses which leads to secondary immunosuppression. In other words, beneficial immunologic side effects can be weakened if chemotherapy is given at high doses. The Wnt pathway (which plays a key role in chemoresistance of LSCs) reduces T cell recruitment to tumors. Available data in murine models indicates that targeted anthracycline treatment expands cancer-targeting T-cells while inhibiting populations known to help cancer cells evade the immune system. This will be measured in our study.
