We aimed to identify relapse predictors in children with a B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and an intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21), a novel genetic entity associated with poor outcome.
We screened 1,625 patients who were enrolled onto the Austrian and German ALL-Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (ALL-BFM) trials 86, 90, 95, and 2000 with ETV6/RUNX1-specific fluorescent in situ hybridization probes, and we identified 29 patient cases (2%) who had an iAMP21. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was quantified with clone-specific immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements.
Twenty-five patients were good responders to prednisone, and all achieved remission after induction therapy. Eleven patients experienced relapse, which included eight who experienced relapse after cessation of front-line therapy. Six-year event-free and overall survival rates were 37% +/- 14% and 66% +/- 11%, respectively. Results of MRD analysis were available in 24 (83%) of 29 patients: nine (37.5%) belonged to the low-risk, 14 (58.5%) to the intermediate-risk, and one (4%) to the high-risk group. MRD results were available in 8 of 11 patients who experienced a relapse. Seven occurred among the 14 intermediate-risk patients, and one occurred in the high-risk patient.
The overall and early relapse rates in the BFM study were lower than that in a previous United Kingdom Medical Research Council/Childhood Leukemia Working Party study (38% v 61% and 27% v 47%, respectively), which might result from more intensive induction and early reintensification therapy in the ALL-BFM protocols. MRD values were the only reliable parameter to discriminate between a low and high risk of relapse (P = .02).
我们旨在确定B细胞前体急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)伴21号染色体内部扩增(iAMP21)患儿的复发预测因素,iAMP21是一种与不良预后相关的新的遗传实体。
我们用ETV6/RUNX1特异性荧光原位杂交探针筛查了1625例纳入奥地利和德国ALL-Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster(ALL-BFM)86、90、95和2000试验的患者,确定了29例(2%)患有iAMP21的患者病例。用克隆特异性免疫球蛋白和T细胞受体基因重排对微小残留病(MRD)进行定量分析。
25例患者对泼尼松反应良好,诱导治疗后均获得缓解。11例患者复发,其中8例在一线治疗结束后复发。6年无事件生存率和总生存率分别为37%±14%和66%±11%。29例患者中有24例(83%)可获得MRD分析结果:9例(37.5%)属于低风险组,14例(58.5%)属于中风险组,1例(4%)属于高风险组。11例复发患者中有8例可获得MRD结果。7例发生在14例中风险患者中,1例发生在高风险患者中。
BFM研究中的总体复发率和早期复发率低于英国医学研究委员会/儿童白血病工作组先前的一项研究(分别为38%对61%和27%对47%),这可能是由于ALL-BFM方案中诱导治疗和早期强化治疗更加强烈。MRD值是区分低复发风险和高复发风险的唯一可靠参数(P = 0.02)。
