HIDE SMILES / InChI
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia in people who have not been helped by other types of chemotherapy or whose condition has improved but then worsened following treatment with other types of chemotherapy. Arsenic trioxide acts through activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), activator protein-1, and inhibition of dual-specificity phosphatases. Although the exact mechanisms under which ATO exerts its therapeutic effect in acute promyelocytic leukemia cancer cells are not well elucidated. It was shown that apoptotic mechanisms involved the induction of phosphatidylserine externalization, caspase-3 activation, and nucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Adverse reactions described are leukocytosis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, fatigue, edema, hyperglycemia, dyspnea, cough, rash or itching, headaches, and dizziness.

Approved Use

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (newly diagnosed) (low-risk disease): Treatment of newly diagnosed low-risk acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), in combination with tretinoin, in adults whose APL is characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) translocation or PML/RAR-alpha gene expression Acute promyelocytic leukemia (relapsed or refractory): Remission induction and consolidation treatment of APL in patients who are refractory to, or have relapsed from, retinoid and anthracycline chemotherapy, and whose APL is characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) translocation or PML/RAR-alpha gene expression

Launch Date

2000

Sample Use Guides

Induction Treatment Schedule: TRISENOX™ should be administered intravenously at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg daily until bone marrow remission. Total induction dose should not exceed 60 doses.
