acute myeloid leukemiarandomized controlled trial

Highlights

  • Intermediate-dose cytarabine (IDAC) demonstrated noninferior overall survival compared to high-dose cytarabine (HDAC) in postinduction AML therapy for patients aged 18–60 years.
  • IDAC resulted in reduced hematologic toxicity and fewer adverse events compared to HDAC, without compromising efficacy.
  • The benefit of IDAC was consistent across major risk groups and response strata, supporting its generalizability.
