Posttransplant relapsed B-cell precursor ALL can be cured by 2nd hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 20% of patients. The major cause of death after second HSCT is leukemic relapse. One reliable predictor for survival after 2nd-HSCT are posttransplant MRD levels. Patients with detectable or increase of MRD are likely to relapse. Patients in complete molecular remission show the best leukemia-free survival and lowest cumulative incidence (CI) of relapse. As patients who undergo second or subsequent HSCT are high-risk patients, we evaluated the prophylactic use of the chimeric Fc-optimized CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb. Posttransplant relapsed CD19 BCP-ALL patients, who underwent a second or subsequent haplo-HSCT from a T- and B-cell depleted graft received posttransplant prophylactic CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb treatment on compassionate use in complete molecular remission, to increase the antileukemic activity of the new reconstituting immune system by recruiting Fc-expressing effector cells. NK cells recovered early and robust. The 3 year overall survival in 15 evaluable patients was 56%, the 3 year event-free survival was 55% and the CI of relapse 38%. Compared to a historical control group, the CI of relapse was markedly lower and consecutively the EFS higher. Posttransplant-targeted therapy may overcome the need for unspecific GvL effect of undesired GvHD, that can cause severe morbidity and mortality. Due to a low adverse event profile the CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb may be suitable for broad administration to consolidate posttransplant MRD negativity.
移植后复发的 B 细胞前体 ALL 患者中有 20%可通过第二次造血干细胞移植(HSCT)治愈。第二次 HSCT 后死亡的主要原因是白血病复发。第二个 HSCT 后生存的一个可靠预测因素是移植后 MRD 水平。MRD 可检测或增加的患者很可能复发。完全分子缓解的患者显示出最佳的无白血病生存和最低的累积复发率(CI)。由于接受第二次或后续 HSCT 的患者是高危患者,我们评估了嵌合 Fc 优化 CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb 的预防性使用。在完全分子缓解的情况下,接受第二次或随后的单倍体 HSCT 且来自 T 和 B 细胞耗尽移植物的移植后复发的 CD19 BCP-ALL 患者,在同情使用的基础上接受移植后预防性 CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb 治疗,以通过募集表达 Fc 的效应细胞来增加新重建的免疫系统的抗白血病活性。NK 细胞早期迅速恢复。15 例可评估患者的 3 年总生存率为 56%,3 年无事件生存率为 55%,复发累积发生率为 38%。与历史对照组相比,复发累积发生率明显较低,EFS 随之升高。移植后靶向治疗可能克服非特异性 GvL 效应的需要,这种效应可能导致严重的发病率和死亡率。由于不良事件发生率低,CD19-4G7SDIE-mAb 可能适合广泛用于巩固移植后 MRD 阴性。
