5 The Challenge Robert Arceci, MD, PhD Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Departments of Oncology and Pediatrics Pediatric Leukemia: Need for New Treatment Options

6 6 Treatment of Patients with Pediatric Leukemias Treatments for newly diagnosed patients with ALL & AML use aggressive multi-drug regimens Overall survival for pediatric ALL and AML has improved, but is approaching a plateau 20% ALL and 50% AML have disease recurrence Treatments for newly diagnosed patients with ALL & AML use aggressive multi-drug regimens Overall survival for pediatric ALL and AML has improved, but is approaching a plateau 20% ALL and 50% AML have disease recurrence

7 7 Common Pediatric Cancers De Novo ALL & AML CNS Source: SEER Pediatric Monograph Assumes: 75% ALL cases cured and 50% AML cases cured Relapsed/ Refractory ALL & AML

8 8 Challenges in Pediatric Relapsed & Refractory Leukemias Heterogeneous population Multi-drug resistance is common in leukemia cells, particularly at relapse Dose intensification with combination therapies has resulted in significant co-morbidities and organ dysfunction Transplant is the best curative option but requires disease control and time to identify donor Heterogeneous population Multi-drug resistance is common in leukemia cells, particularly at relapse Dose intensification with combination therapies has resulted in significant co-morbidities and organ dysfunction Transplant is the best curative option but requires disease control and time to identify donor

9 9 Survival in Relapsed/ Refractory Pediatric Leukemia Weitman, et. al. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1997;17:197-207 Acute Lymphoid Leukemia Acute Myeloid Leukemia

10 10 New Agents Needed for Remission Induction in Relapsed/ Refractory Patients Few agents have been approved for pediatric leukemia Most commonly used agents approved many years ago Methotrexate (1953) 6-Mercaptopurine (1953) Vincristine (1963) Ara-C (1969) Doxorubicin (1974) Development of new pediatric oncology agents has lagged behind adult oncology drug development Few agents have been approved for pediatric leukemia Most commonly used agents approved many years ago Methotrexate (1953) 6-Mercaptopurine (1953) Vincristine (1963) Ara-C (1969) Doxorubicin (1974) Development of new pediatric oncology agents has lagged behind adult oncology drug development

11 11 Conclusions Relapsed leukemia is the third most common childhood cancer Successful treatment of relapsed and refractory pediatric leukemias remains a major challenge Patients with multi-drug resistant leukemia are refractory to chemotherapy and have accumulated organ toxicities New, well tolerated and effective agents are urgently needed Relapsed leukemia is the third most common childhood cancer Successful treatment of relapsed and refractory pediatric leukemias remains a major challenge Patients with multi-drug resistant leukemia are refractory to chemotherapy and have accumulated organ toxicities New, well tolerated and effective agents are urgently needed
