Despite modern treatment programs, less than 20% of adult cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are cured. For relapsing and/or refractory patients, use of high dose cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and anthracyclin achieved a complete remission (CR) rate of up to a 75%. The aim of this study was to evaluate in adult patients with ALL 1) the CR rate of a chemotherapy schedule similar to a schedule for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients, 2) the antileukemic value and the tolerance of 3 intensive stage treatments, and 3) the impact of recombinant granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and infectious complications, as well as the effect of dose intensity.
