The current study investigated the efficacy and safety of a novel treatment regime consisting of homobarringtonie, cytosine arabinoside and etoposide (HCE) for the treatment of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the present study, 141 patients diagnosed with AML were divided into the HCE (n=47) and the conventional AML therapy, consisting of idamycin combined with cytarabine (IA; n=94), treatment groups. The measured patient outcome parameters were the emission and response rates, as well as medication-induced adverse events, with a median follow-up time of 28 months. There was no significant difference in the 3-year relapse-free survival rate between the HCE and IA treatment groups. The occurrence and severity of hematological or non-hematological toxicity did not differ between the two groups. However, of the 26 patients that demonstrated a poor response to the IA treatment, 19 cases were administered the HCE treatment and 14 of these patients achieved complete remission (CR). Of the 10 patients that demonstrated a poor response to the HCE treatment, 8 patients were administered the IA treatment and 7 of these achieved CR. Therefore, HCE may be an effective treatment regimen for patients with primary AML. As there was no cross-resistance between the HCE and IA regimens, HCE may be an alternative option for patients that respond poorly to IA induction therapy.
