Haplo-identical HSCT Versus Chemotherapy for Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients

May 27, 2019 updated by: Xiao-jun Huang,MD, Peking University

Phase III Study to Compare Haplo-identical HSCT Versus Chemotherapy in First Remission for Standard-risk Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The survival of adult patients with standard-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) need to improve. We want to compare the efficacy of haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with chemotherapy for adult(age:18-39 years old) ALL patients in first phase of complete remission (CR1)

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Although the high complete remission rate (80%-90%) can be achieved, the long-term survival rate of standard-risk adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) is only 25%-55% when they receive chemotherapy alone. The survival rate can be further improved uo to 50%-75% when they receive HLA-matched HSCT However, the chance of finding a HLA-matched donor is low, especially in China. Alternative donor such as halpo-identical related donor might be an choice.

Our retrospective analysis showed about 59% overall survival could be achieved when standard-risk adult ALL patients received halpo-identical HSCT.Therefore, we start this randomization controlled trial to compare the efficacy of haplo-identical HSCT with chemotherapy for adult(age:18-39 years old) ALL patients in CR1.

Experimental: Haplo-identical HSCT
Haplo-identical HSCT Protocol:G, donor treatment with recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF); I, intensified immunologic suppression; A, antihuman thymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) for the prevention of GVHD; C, combination of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), and bone marrow transplantation (BMT),named GIAC regimen. Graft versus-host disease(GVHD) prevention regimen: CSA/MMF/MTX, cyclosporine A(CSA) 1.25mg/kg/d, i.v administrated in two doses from day -109 until bowel function returned to normal, at which time patients receive oral CSA until 12months after HSCt and then gradually tapered. Every 12h, 0.5g mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)(0.25g for children) was administrated orally from day -10 to +30 and subsequently 0.25g from days +30 to +60. Methotrexate (MTX) was administrated at a dose of 15mg/m2 on day +1 and 10mg/m2 on days +3,+6, and +11.
Haplo-identical Protocol: myeloablative human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) using pretransplant ATG and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-stimulated grafts (ATG+G-CSF) GVHD prevention regimen: CSA/MMF/MTX, CSA 1.25mg/kg/d, i.v administrated in two doses from day -109 until bowel function returned to normal, at which time patients receive oral CSA until 12months after HRD-HSC and then gradually tapered. Every 12h, 0.5g MMF(0.25g for children) was administrated orally from day -10 to +30 and subsequently 0.25g from days +30 to +60. MTX was administrated at a dose of 15mg/m2 on day +1 and 10mg/m2 on days +3,+6, and +11.
