Overview

Registry study finds 48% three-year survival following hematopoietic cell transplantation in pediatric relapsed T-cell leukemia, suggesting durable efficacy after second remission.

Key Points

  • To assess survival, relapse, and toxicity outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in pediatric patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in second complete remission.
  • Retrospective registry analysis of 229 pediatric patients (median age 10 years, range 2 to 18) with T-ALL in CR2 who underwent myeloablative allogeneic HCT between 2000 and 2011, reported to the CIBMTR.
  • Donor graft sources included matched sibling bone marrow (38%), unrelated bone marrow or peripheral blood (36%), and umbilical cord blood (26%).
  • Three-year overall survival was 48% (95% CI, 41% to 55%), three-year disease-free survival was 46% (95% CI, 39% to 52%), and the three-year relapse rate was 30% (95% CI, 24% to 37%).
  • Day-100 transplant-related mortality was 13% (95% CI, 9% to 18%), with grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease occurring in 35% (95% CI, 27% to 45%) and chronic GVHD in 26% (95% CI, 20% to 33%).
  • Prior bone marrow relapse, with or without concurrent extramedullary disease, significantly increased the risk of post-HCT relapse compared with isolated extramedullary relapse (HR, 3.94; P = .005).
