Abstract:
A CALLG2008 protocol was developed by the Chinese Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cooperative Group for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).We retrospectively analyzed 153 newly diagnosed adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive ALL enrolled into imatinib (400 mg/d) plus CALLG2008 regimen between 2009 and 2015.The median age was 40 years (range,18-68 years),with 81 (52.3%) males.The overall hematologic complete remission (CR) rate was 96.7% after induction.With a median follow-up of 24.2 months,the estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 49.5% (95% confidence interval (CI):38.5%-59.5%) and 49.2% (95% CI:38.3%-59.2%),respectively.Fifty-eight (36 with haploidentical donor) patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in first CR.Among the patients in CR1 after induction,both the 3-year OS and EFS were significantly better in the allo-HSCT group than in the without allo-HSCT group (73.2%,95% CI:58.3%-83.5% vs.22.2%,95% CI:8.7%-39.6% and 66.5%,95% CI:50.7%-78.2% vs.16.1%,95% CI:5.1%-32.7%,respectively).Multivariate analysis showed that allo-HSCT and achievement of major molecular response were associated with favorable OS or EFS independently.Interestingly,in the allo-HSCT cohort,the donor type (haploidentical versus matched donors) had no significant impact on EFS or OS.All these results suggested that imatinib plus CALLG2008 was an effective protocol for Ph-positive ALL.Haploidentical donors can also be a reasonable alternative expedient donor pool.
