The use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for consolidation therapy in patients with core binding factor (CBF) acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with intermediate- and adverse-risk genetics remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of 286 CBF-AML patients with intermediate- and adverse-risk genetics in first complete remission following consolidation with chemotherapy (n = 122), auto-HSCT (n = 27), or allo-HSCT (n = 137) between January 2009 and December 2018 at our center. Patients with allo-HSCT showed superior 5-year overall survival (OS; 74% versus 38% or 49%; P < .001) and progression-free survival (PFS; 74% versus 26% or 49%; P < .001) and lower cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR; 9% versus 69% or 31%; P < .001) compared with chemotherapy alone or auto-HSCT. In the allo-HSCT group, minimal residual disease (MRD) at the second and third months after allo-HSCT could predict relapse in t(8;21) patients (2 months: P = .002; 3 months: P < .001) but not in inv(16) patients. Moreover, positive MRD after 2 courses of consolidation chemotherapy before allo-HSCT was an independent risk factor for survival in CBF-AML patients with intermediate- and adverse-risk genetics, whereas haploidentical donor (haplo-) HSCT could overcome the adverse prognosis (5-year OS, 87%; 5-year PFS, 81%; 5-year CIR, 7%). Allo-HSCT could be the optimal first-line consolidation therapy for patients with intermediate- and adverse-risk genetics, and haplo-HSCT could improve survival for patients with positive MRD after 2 courses of consolidation chemotherapy.
异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)用于中危和高危遗传学核心结合因子(CBF)急性髓系白血病(AML)患者的巩固治疗仍存在争议。我们回顾性分析了 2009 年 1 月至 2018 年 12 月期间在我中心接受巩固化疗(n=122)、自体外周血造血干细胞移植(n=27)或 allo-HSCT(n=137)的 286 例中危和高危遗传学 CBF-AML 患者的临床结局。allo-HSCT 组患者 5 年总生存率(OS;74%对 38%或 49%;P<0.001)和无进展生存率(PFS;74%对 26%或 49%;P<0.001)更高,累积复发率(CIR;9%对 69%或 31%;P<0.001)更低,与单纯化疗或自体外周血造血干细胞移植相比。在 allo-HSCT 组中,allo-HSCT 后第 2 和第 3 个月的微小残留病(MRD)可预测 t(8;21)患者的复发(2 个月:P=0.002;3 个月:P<0.001),但不能预测 inv(16)患者的复发。此外,allo-HSCT 前巩固化疗 2 个疗程后阳性 MRD 是中危和高危遗传学 CBF-AML 患者生存的独立危险因素,而单倍体相合供者(haplo-)HSCT 可克服不良预后(5 年 OS,87%;5 年 PFS,81%;5 年 CIR,7%)。allo-HSCT 可作为中危和高危遗传学患者的最佳一线巩固治疗,而对于巩固化疗 2 个疗程后阳性 MRD 的患者,haplo-HSCT 可改善生存。
