ABSTRACT: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, RA) has powerful activity in APL; its efficacy in non-APL AML is still unclear, but may be boosted by epigenetic drugs such azanucleoside DNMT inhibitors (Blagitko-Dorfs et al. PLoS ONE 2013). In a randomized phase II study (DECIDER trial, NCT00867672) the addition of RA to decitabine (DAC) in newly diagnosed non-fit older AML patients resulted in a clinically meaningful extension of survival. We hypothesize that in vitro, the add-on of RA to DAC results in cooperative transcriptome changes (possibly associated with demethylation), which may explain at least in part this clinical result.
