The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) of National Cancer Institute (NCI) high-risk (HR) B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients with end of induction (EOI) minimal residual disease (MRD) ≥0.1% and end of consolidation (EOC) MRD ≥0.01% is 39 ± 7%, warranting consideration of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, the impact of EOC MRD in NCI standard-risk (SR) B-ALL patients using COG regimens is unknown. We found that SR patients with MRD ≥0.01% at both EOI and EOC have a 4-year DFS/overall survival (OS) of 72.9 ± 19.0%/91.7 ± 10.8% versus 90.7 ± 2.9%/95.5 ± 2.0% (p = .0019/.25) for those with EOI MRD ≥0.01% and EOC MRD <0.01%. These data suggest that routine use of HSCT may not be warranted in EOC MRD ≥0.01% SR patients.
美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)高危(HR)B 淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)患者在诱导结束(EOI)时微小残留病(MRD)≥0.1%和巩固结束(EOC)时 MRD≥0.01%的 5 年无病生存率(DFS)为 39±7%,需要考虑造血干细胞移植(HSCT)。然而,COG 方案治疗 NCI 标准风险(SR)B-ALL 患者中 EOC MRD 的影响尚不清楚。我们发现,EOI 和 EOC 时 MRD≥0.01%的 SR 患者的 4 年 DFS/总生存率(OS)分别为 72.9±19.0%/91.7±10.8%和 90.7±2.9%/95.5±2.0%(p=0.0019/0.25),而 EOI MRD≥0.01%和 EOC MRD<0.01%的患者。这些数据表明,对于 EOC MRD≥0.01%的 SR 患者,常规使用 HSCT 可能没有必要。
