To evaluate the efficacy and safety of standard or low-dose chemotherapy followed by HLA-mismatched allogeneic T-cell infusion (allo-TLI) for the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and patients with intermediate-2 to high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
We carried out a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial. Totally of 25 patients were enrolled, including 17 AML patients and 8 MDS patients. Each patient received four courses of non-ablative chemotherapy, with HLA-mismatched donor CD3 allo-TLI 24 h after each course. AML patients received chemotherapy with decitabine, idarubicin, and cytarabine, and MDS patients received decitabine, cytarabine, aclarubicin, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
A total of 79 procedures were performed. The overall response rates of the AML and MDS patients were 94% and 75% and the 1-year overall survival rates were 88% (61-97%) and 60% (13-88%), respectively. The overall 60-day treatment-related mortality was 8%. Compared with a historical control cohort that received idarubicin plus cytarabine (3 + 7), the study group showed significantly better overall response (94% 50%, =0.002) and overall survival rates (the 1-year OS rate was 88% 27%, =0.014). Post-TLI cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) occurred after 79% of allo-TLI operations, and 96% of CRS reactions were grade 1.
Elderly AML patients and intermediate-2 to high-risk MDS patients are usually insensitive to or cannot tolerate regular chemotherapies, and may not have the opportunity to undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Our study showed that non-ablative chemotherapy followed by HLA-mismatched allo-TLI is safe and effective, and may thus be used as a first-line treatment for these patients.
评估标准剂量或低剂量化疗后进行人类白细胞抗原(HLA)配型不合的异基因T细胞输注(allo - TLI)治疗老年急性髓系白血病(AML)患者及中2至高危骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)患者的疗效和安全性。
我们开展了一项前瞻性、多中心、单臂临床试验。共纳入25例患者,其中17例AML患者和8例MDS患者。每位患者接受四个疗程的非清髓性化疗,每个疗程后24小时进行HLA配型不合供者CD3 allo - TLI。AML患者接受地西他滨、伊达比星和阿糖胞苷化疗,MDS患者接受地西他滨、阿糖胞苷、阿克拉霉素和粒细胞集落刺激因子治疗。
共进行了79次操作。AML和MDS患者的总缓解率分别为94%和75%,1年总生存率分别为88%(61 - 97%)和60%(13 - 88%)。60天总体治疗相关死亡率为8%。与接受伊达比星加阿糖胞苷(3 + 7)的历史对照队列相比,研究组的总缓解率(94%对50%,P = 0.002)和总生存率(1年总生存率为88%对27%,P = 0.014)显著更好。79%的allo - TLI操作后发生TLI后细胞因子释放综合征(CRS),96%的CRS反应为1级。
老年AML患者及中2至高危MDS患者通常对常规化疗不敏感或无法耐受,且可能没有机会接受异基因干细胞移植。我们的研究表明,非清髓性化疗后进行HLA配型不合的allo - TLI安全有效,因此可作为这些患者的一线治疗方法。
