Ph’+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph’+-ALL) is an oncohematologic disorder for which allogeneic bone marrow transplantation still offers the only chance of cure. However, relapse is the main reason for treatment failure, also after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). New drugs, such as third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies, have expanded the therapeutic landscape, especially in patients who relapsed before HSCT. Very few reports, up to now, have described the use of both classes of these new agents in combination with donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) in the setting of patients who relapsed after HSCT. We report on a young patient affected by Ph’+-ALL, who relapsed after the second HSCT and who reached molecular remission and long-term disease control by treatment with the anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody inotuzumab ozogamicin, DLI, and the 3rd generation TKI ponatinib.

6540 Background: Disease relapse is the major cause of failure after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment options for these patients (pts) are limited and only a second SCT provides a realistic chance for long term disease remission. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 31 pts with ALL who relapsed following their first allogeneic SCT, and went on to receive a second allogeneic SCT. Univariate analysis was used to assess for risk factors which influenced treatment-related mortality (TRM), and progression free survival (PFS) following second SCT. Results: 31 pts were evaluable for response with 2 early deaths within 30 days of SCT. The median age of the pts was 26 years (range 7- 49), and the median duration between their first SCT (SCT1) to relapse was 9.5 months (range 2.2-32.6 months). 39% of pts were transplanted in active disease (n=12). The complete remission (CR) rate post SCT was 89%; 83% of pts transplanted with active disease attained CR. With a median follow-up of 3 years among survivors, PFS, and OS rates at 1 year were estimated at 23%. The TRM rate was 41% at 12 months. We did not identify any factors that impacted TRM through univariate analysis. We found a significant relationship between the time to progression following SCT 1 and PFS following SCT 2 (p=0.02, HR=0.93/month). Conclusions: In summary, a second transplant remains an effective method for achieving response in a highly refractory patient population. Pts with longer PFS following SCT1 have a better PFS following SCT2. While long-term survival is limited, a significant proportion of pts remain disease-free for up to one year following SCT2, providing a window of time to administer preventive interventions. Notably, our 4 long-term survivors, received novel therapies in the form of a single umbilical cord blood unit in addition to the PBSC to augment the immune response (n=2), a change in the stem cell source for the SCT from cord to mismatched adult unrelated (n=1), and post SCT maintenance therapy with 5-azacytidine (n=1), underscoring the need for a fundamental change with the methods for the second transplant to improve outcome.

Abstract T cell–depleted haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haploHSCT) is an option to treat children with very high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) lacking an HLA-identical donor. We analyzed 127 children with ALL who underwent haploHSCT in first (n = 22), second (n = 48), or third (n = 32), complete remission or in relapse (n = 25). The 5-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 30%, 34%, 22%, and 0%, respectively. A risk-factor analysis was performed for patients who underwent transplantation in remission (n = 102). Five-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse incidence (RI), and LFS were 37%, 36%, and 27%, respectively. A trend of improved LFS rate and decreased RI was observed for children given a graft with higher number of CD34+ cells (adjusted P = .09 and P = .07, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, haploHSCT performed in larger centers (performing ≥ 231 allotransplantations in the studied period) was associated with improved LFS rate and decreased RI (adjusted P = .01 and P = .04, respectively), adjusting for different patient-, disease-, and transplant-related factors such as number of previous autotransplantations, cytomegalovirus serology status, type of T-cell depletion, and use of total body irradiation and antithymocyte globulin. In conclusion, higher CD34+ cell dose and better patient selection may improve outcomes of children with ALL who undergo a haploHSCT. Transplant centers initiating programs on haploHSCT for children may collaborate with more experienced centers.

AbstractThe decision to proceed to transplant for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is not clear-cut. Relapse and nonrelapse mortality continue to plague the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) even when undertaken in complete remission (CR). Those considered to be at high risk for relapse often are considered for HSCT in first complete remission (CR1) while those at lower risk may not be referred until they have relapsed, when their chances for cure are very poor. In some patients who have a suitable histocompatible sibling, disease- or patient-related factors may override the potential benefit of allogeneic HSCT. Because many patients do not have a suitable histocompatible sibling, one has to consider the relative merits of autologous transplantation versus use of an alternative allogeneic stem cell source, such as a matched-unrelated donor (MUD), umbilical cord blood (UCB) donor, or haploidentical donor. Deciding among these options in comparison to chemotherapy even in high-risk patients is difficult. In the review, the risks and benefits of these choices are discussed to determine whether and by what means to proceed to HSCT in adult patients with ALL who are in CR1. Presented are two patients with ALL and a discussion of how the data we provide would lead to a decision about the selection of therapy.
