    Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a poor
    prognosis.
    Therefore, patients with Ph+ ALL are advised to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT)
    at the time of first complete response (CR1).
    However, in the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), rapid achievement of complete molecular response (CMR) is associated with a good prognosis without allogeneic HCT, suggesting that these patients may not require transplantation
    .

     

     

    To test this hypothesis, the researchers retrospectively analyzed adult Ph+ ALL patients receiving induction therapy (including TKIs) at 5 transplant centers in the United States who received CMR
    within 90 days of diagnosis.
    The researchers compared clinical outcomes
    in patients who received and did not receive alloc-HCT at first remission.

     


    Clinical prognosis of patients in the allo-HCT group and the non-HCT group

     

    A total of 230 patients were included (allo-HCT: 98; non-HCT: 132-bit).

    Patients in the allo-HCT group were younger and performed better
    .
    In multivariate analysis (MVA), alloc-HCT was associated with overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.
    05; 95% CI 0.
    63-1.
    73) and recurrence-free survival (aHR: 0.
    86; 95% CI 0.
    54 to 1.
    37) Improvement was not relevant
    .
    alloc-HCT was associated with a lower cumulative recurrence rate (aHR: 0.
    32; 95% CI 0.
    17 to 0.
    62), but non-recurrence mortality was higher in patients with alloc-HCT (aHR: 2.
    59; 95% CI 1.
    37-4.
    89)
    。 Propensity score matching analysis confirmed the results
    of MVA.
    There was no statistically significant difference
    between low-intensity HCT and non-HCT at none of these endpoints.

     

    Overall, the results of this retrospective study suggest that adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia who achieve a complete molecular response within 90 days of initiating treatment do not derive a survival benefit
    from allo-HCT at first complete response.
