 Allocation: 
 N/A 
 Intervention model: 
 Single Group Assignment 
 Intervention model description: 
 A consecutive sample of 15 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed APL who have not
been previously treated with ATO will be prospectively included in this study. 
 Primary purpose: 
 Treatment 
 Masking: 
 None (Open Label) 
 Masking description: 
 This is an Open label study 
 Intervention: 
 Intervention type: 
 Drug 
 Intervention name: 
 Arsenic trioxide 
 Description: 
 Patients will receive ATO 0.3mg/kg/day for days 1-5 (5 doses) and then 0.25 mg/kg/day
every other day twice a week for the next 3 weeks (6 doses). 
 Arm group label: 
 Induction with attenuated ATO plus low-dose ATRA 
 Other name: 
 Trisenox 
 Intervention type: 
 Drug 
 Intervention name: 
 all-trans retinoic acid 
 Description: 
 Patients will receive ATRA 25/mg/m2/day for 28 continuous days without interruption. 
 Arm group label: 
 Induction with attenuated ATO plus low-dose ATRA 
 Other name: 
 Vesanoid 
 Summary: 
 ATRA is the standard of care for all patients with APL. The use of lower doses of ATRA
has been shown since the 1990s to achieve therapeutic efficacy with doses of 25mg/m2/day.
ATO demonstrated considerable effectiveness in this disease. More recently, an attenuated
regimen has been proven to be effective. In this study we intent to demonstrate the
effectiveness of combined therapy of low-dose ATRA plus attenuated dose ATO. 
 Detailed description: 
 The use of lower doses of ATRA has been shown since the 1990s to achieve therapeutic
plasma concentrations sufficient to achieve therapeutic efficacy with doses of
25mg/m2/day. ATO alone demonstrated considerable effectiveness in this disease. More
recently, an attenuated regimen has been proven to be effective in inducing similar
remission rates and achieving prolonged survival, also demonstrating a reduction in
associated toxicities, mainly hepatic and cardiac when using this new scheme.
The investigators will conduct a phase 1/2, non-randomized, single center,
non-comparative clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of combined therapy of
low-dose ATRA plus attenuated dose ATO which is accessible to a population with limited
resources while maintaining acceptable efficacy and safety.
