The cover for issue 93 of Oncotarget features Figure 2, "Comparison of overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) between CloB2A1 and CloB2A2 sub-groups," by Le Bourgeois, et al.
Clo B2A2/A1 RIC regimen provides very good results for AML patients allografted in CR and could be retained as a new RIC platform for these patients.
This was a retrospective study including all patients who received a clofarabine/busulfan based RIC allo-SCT for myeloid malignancies and reported within the SFGM-TC registry.
RIC regimen consisted of clofarabine 30 mg/m /day 4 to 5 days, busulfan 3.2 mg/kg/day 2 days and 2.5 mg/kg/day of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin 1 or 2 days.

Dr. Amandine Le Bourgeois and Dr. Patrice Chevallier from the Department of Hematology, CHU Hôtel Dieu, Nantes, France said, "The family of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type-1 (PIP5K1) lipid kinases consists of three isoforms, PIP5K1A, PIP5K1B and PIP5K1C, each of which exists in multiple alternatively spliced variants."

The FB2A2 regimen 2.5 mg/kg/d for 2 days) was rapidly established as one of the standards of care for RIC regimen in Europe, especially in France .
Thus, the Clo B2A2 RIC regimen has been validated in a prospective phase II study including 14 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 11 with acute myeloid leukemia and 5 with myelodysplastic syndrome.
Our group retrospectively compared the Clo B2A2 versus FB2A2 RIC regimens in a cohort of patients with myeloid disease, and showed a significant OS benefit for the former in multivariate analysis.
The Le Bourgeois/Chevallier research team concluded, "CloB2A2/A1 RIC regimen provide very good results for AML patients allografted in CR and should be retained as a new RIC platform for these patients. Prospective studies are definitively needed to compare CloB2 vs FB2 RIC regimens."
