While existing treatment strategies for adult acute leukaemia may
yield satisfactory remission- induction rates, a major clinical concern
is the high rate of disease relapse despite attempts to optimize
post-remission consolidation therapy. Clofarabine is
currently under evaluation by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency
(EMEA) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute leukaemia in
children. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the filing of the New Drug
Application (NDA 21-673) for clofarabine for the treatment of refractory
or relapsed acute leukaemia in children. |
