Outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) improve significantly by intensification of induction. To further intensify anthracycline dosage without increasing cardiotoxicity, we compared potentially less cardiotoxic liposomal daunorubicin (L-DNR) to idarubicin at a higher-than-equivalent dose (80 vs 12 mg/m(2) per day for 3 days) during induction.

In the multicenter therapy-optimization trial AML-BFM 2004, 521 of 611 pediatric patients (85%) were randomly assigned to L-DNR or idarubicin induction. Five-year results in both treatment arms were similar (overall survival 76% +/- 3% [L-DNR] vs 75% +/- 3% [idarubicin], P-logrank = .65; event-free survival [EFS] 59% +/- 3% vs 53% +/- 3%, P-logrank = .25; cumulative incidence of relapse 29% +/- 3% vs 31% +/- 3%, P-(Gray) = .75), as were EFS results for standard (72% +/- 5% vs 68% +/- 5%, P-logrank = .47) and high-risk (51% +/- 4% vs 46% +/- 4%, P-logrank = .45) patients.

L-DNR resulted in significantly better probability of EFS in patients with t(8;21). Overall, treatment-related mortality was lower with L-DNR than idarubicin (2/257 vs 10/264 patients, P = .04).

Grade 3/4 cardiotoxicity was rare after induction (4 L-DNR vs 5 idarubicin). Only 1 L-DNR and 3 idarubicin patients presented with subclinical or mild cardiomyopathy during follow-up.

In conclusion, at the given dose, L-DNR has overall antileukemic activity comparable to idarubicin, promises to be more active in subgroups, and causes less treatment-related mortality. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00111345.
