Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a highly aggressive hematological disease, and its treatment has long been a challenge in the field. Chinese scholars have contributed significantly to global APL treatment with the introduction of the arsenic trioxide (ATO) regimen. Since the publication of the APL0406 study in NEJM in 2013, the combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and ATO has replaced ATRA combined with chemotherapy as the standard treatment for low- and intermediate-risk APL patients. However, whether this regimen is suitable for high-risk APL patients remains undetermined due to a lack of randomized controlled trials. At the 29th Annual Meeting of the European Hematology Association (EHA 2024) held from June 13-16, 2024, Dr. Uwe Platzbecker from the Leipzig University in Germany presented key findings from the APOLLO study. This study demonstrated that the combination of ATO and ATRA offers a new treatment strategy for high-risk APL patients, providing valuable insights into the current state of APL treatment and guiding future research directions and clinical practices. Oncology Frontier - Hematology Frontier invited Professor Platzbecker to share the important discoveries and clinical significance of the APOLLO study.
