T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a highly aggressive form of lymphoma with poor clinical outcomes and lacks of a standard treatment regimen. In this study, we assessed the safety and efficacy of tandem autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) strategy for adult T-LBL and evaluated prognostic factors affecting survival. 181 Newly-diagnosed adult T-LBL patients were enrolled, 89 patients were treated with chemotherapy alone, 46 patients were allocated to single auto-HSCT group, 46 patients were treated with tandem auto-HSCT. The median follow-up time was 37 months, the 3-year progression/relapse rate of the tandem auto-HSCT group was significantly lower than that of the single auto-HSCT group and chemotherapy group (26.5% vs 53.1% and 54.8%). The 3-year PFS and OS rate of the tandem auto-HSCT group (73.5% and 76.3%) were significantly higher than those of the single auto-HSCT group (46.9% and 58.3%) and the chemotherapy group (45.1% and 57.1%). In the tandem auto-HSCT group, age and disease status after the first transplantation impacted the OS and PFS. Multivariate analysis identified that disease status after the first transplantation was the only independent prognostic factor for patients treated with tandem-HSCT. In addition, diagnostic models of the initial CD8+CD28+/CD8+CD28- T cell ratio in predicting the disease status were found to be significant. Taken together, tandem auto-HSCT can be considered an optimal strategy for adult T-LBL patients (ChiCTR-ONN-16008480).

AbstractSince the introduction of leukemia-type induction therapies for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL), improvements in the long-term outcomes of T-LBL have been reported. However, indications for and the appropriate timing of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have not yet been established. Therefore, we performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with T-LBL treated using leukemia-type initial therapies to compare the outcomes after HSCT at different disease stages. We enrolled 21 patients with T-LBL from a total of 11 centers, and all patients received hyper-CVAD as a leukemia-type initial regimen. HSCT was performed during the CR1/PR1 (standard disease) stage in 11 patients, while it was completed at a later or non-remission (advanced disease) stage in 10 patients. Following HSCT, the overall survival rate was significantly greater in standard disease than in advanced-disease patients (79.5% vs. 30.0% at 5 years; hazard ratio (HR) 5.97; p = 0.03), with trend to the lower incidence of relapse in the former group (27.3% vs. 60.0% at 5 years; HR 2.29; p = 0.19). A prognostic difference was not detected between cases treated with allogeneic and autologous HSCTs. Our study suggests that frontline HSCT may be a feasible treatment option for T-LBL, even in the era of leukemia-type initial therapy.

Abstract Backgroud T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a highly aggressive lymphoma with very poor clinical outcomes which has not standard treatment. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tandem autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) treatment for adult T-LBL and assessed the factors that affect survival. Methods 160 newly diagnosed adult T-LBL patients were divided into three groups: chemotherapy group (68 patients), single auto-HSCT group (46 patients), and tandem auto-HSCT group (46 patients). The primary outcome measure was failure-free survival. The intermediate primary outcomes were progression/relapse rate and overall survival. Factors influencing toxicity related to tandem auto-HSCT treatment and prognosis for the patients were analyzed as well. Results The 3-year progression/relapse rate of the tandem auto-HSCT group was significantly lower than that of the single auto-HSCT group and chemotherapy group (19.6% vs 45.7% and 70.6%, p < 0.05). The 3-year PFS rate and OS rate of the tandem auto-HSCT group (68.3% and 72.5%, respectively) were significantly higher than those of the single auto-HSCT group (41.5% and 55.4%, respectively, p < 0.05) and the chemotherapy group (23.3% and 43.3%, respectively, p < 0.05). In the tandem auto-HSCT group, age and disease status after the first transplant had an influence on the OS and PFS. Multivariate analysis identified disease status after the first transplant as the only independent prognostic factor for outcome in T-LBL. Conclusions Tandem auto-HSCT improves long-term survival of adult T-LBL patients. Disease status after the first transplant was an independent prognostic indicator for those patients.
