Systematic review of the addition of vincristine plus steroid pulses in maintenance treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia - an individual patient data meta-analysis involving 5659 children

Original language description

Vincristine plus steroid pulses have long been a part of maintenance treatment in many protocols for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). A collaborative individual patient data meta-analysis of all randomised trials of the addition of vincristine plus prednisone/prednisolone (VP) pulses in childhood ALL was updated and extended to include trials comparing vincristine plus dexamethasone (VD) pulses to maintenance without pulses. VP pulses improved event-free survival (EFS) (70 center dot 1% vs. 62 center dot 0% at 5 years; odds ratio (OR) = 0 center dot 71; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0 center dot 61-0 center dot 84; P = 0 center dot 00004); VD pulses did not have a significant effect (80 center dot 9% vs. 79 center dot 9% 5 year EFS; OR =0 center dot 94; 95% CI = 0 center dot 80-1 center dot 11; P = 0 center dot 5). Heterogeneity between groups (VP or VD) was significant (P = 0 center dot 02). Neither treatment clearly affected overall survival. The difference between th
