Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of decitabine contained chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.Methods A total of 101 patients with relapsed or refractory AML from May 2014 to December 2017 were collected retrospectively. Three schemes with a relatively larger number of users were included: 15 cases were treated with decitabine monotherapy (DAC regime); 37 cases were treated with decitabine, anthracycline antibiotic, and cytarabine (D-DA regime); and 49 cases were treated with decitabine, cytarabine, aclarubicin, and granulocyte colony-stimulatingfactor (G-CSF) (D-CAG regimen). The remission rate, blood products support strength, degree and duration of bone marrow suppression, adverse reaction, and survival time were compared.Results The complete remission (CR) rates of DAC, D-DA and D-CAG regimen group were 40.0%, 48.6%, and 71.4%, respectively; the overall respond rates (ORR) were 46.7%, 54.1%, and 79.6%, respectively. The ORR in D-CAG regimen group was higher than those in the other two groups (P<0.017). The dosage of G-CSF in D-CAG regimen group were lower than those in DAC regimen group [ (1 363.0±1 037.9) vs. (2 517.0±1 163.4) μg, P<0.05]; the mean number of erythrocyte transfusion and the dosage of G-CSF were lower than those in D-DA regimen group [(6.7±4.0) vs. (14.8±10.1) U, P<0.05; (1 363.0±1 037.9) vs. (2 786.0±1474.0) μg, P<0.05]; the time to the suppression of hemoglobin and platelet in D-CAG regimen group were later than those in D-DA regimen group [(11.5±2.6) vs. (8.8±2.5) days, P=0.007; (10.9±2.6) vs. (7.6±2.5) days, P=0.002]; the time to the suppression of platelet was later than that in DAC regimen group [(10.9±2.6) vs. (7.6±1.6) days, P=0.003]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reations among the three group (P>0.05). The median overall survival of D-CAG regimen group was longer than that in DAC regimen group (11.6 vs. 8.8 months, P=0.013).Conclusion Among the three chemotherapy regimens containing decitabine, the CR and ORR of D-CAG regimen are higher, the tolerance is better, and further promotion can be attempted in qualified medical institutions.
