T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) predominantly affects individuals in late childhood and young adulthood. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative modality particularly in the setting of poor risk genetics and/or persistent minimal residual disease. Limited studies have directly explored the impact of patient- and transplant-related factors on post-transplant outcomes in T-ALL. Using a large dataset from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry, we identified 1907 adult T-ALL patients (70% male) who underwent their first allo-HSCT in first complete remission (CR1) from matched sibling donors (MSD; 45%), unrelated donors (UD; 43%) or haploidentical donors (12%) between 2010 and 2021. The median age at transplant was 33.4 years (18.1-75). The median follow up was 2.9 years. Most patients underwent total body irradiation (TBI)-based myeloablative conditioning (69%). The 2-year overall survival (OS) was 69.4%, and leukemia -free survival (LFS) was 62.1%. In multivariate analysis, advanced age at transplant negatively affected LFS (for each 10-year increment, HR = 1.11, p = 0.004), GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR = 1.06, p = 0.04), OS (HR = 1.12, p = 0.002), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR = 1.23, p < 0.001). More recent years of allo-HSCT were associated with improved GFRS (For each 3-year increment, HR = 0.89, p < 0.001), OS (HR = 0.9, p = 0.02), and decreased NRM (HR = 0.82, p = 0.008). TBI improved LFS. (HR = 0.79, p = 0.02), GRFS (HR = 0.83, p = 0.04), and relapse incidence (RI) (HR = 0.65, p < 0.001). Female-to-male transplant negatively affected GRFS (HR = 1.21, p = 0.02) and OS (HR = 1.23, p = 0.048). In vivo T-cell depletion significantly improved GFRS (HR = 0.74, p < 0.001). This large study identified prognostic factors, such as age at transplant conditioning regimen, in influencing post-transplant in adult T-ALL patients undergoing allo-HSCT. Importantly, a significant improvement over time was noted. These findings hold great promise for new adapted treatment strategies and can serve as a benchmark for future studies in that setting.
T 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)主要影响儿童晚期和青年期的个体。同种异体造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)是一种治愈方法,特别是在遗传风险高和/或持续存在微小残留疾病的情况下。有限的研究直接探讨了患者和移植相关因素对 T-ALL 患者移植后结局的影响。利用欧洲血液和骨髓移植协会注册中心的一个大型数据集,我们确定了 1907 例成年 T-ALL 患者(70%为男性),他们在 2010 年至 2021 年间在首次完全缓解(CR1)期从匹配的同胞供体(MSD;45%)、无关供体(UD;43%)或单倍体供体(12%)接受了他们的首次 allo-HSCT。移植时的中位年龄为 33.4 岁(18.1-75 岁)。中位随访时间为 2.9 年。大多数患者接受了基于全身照射(TBI)的清髓性预处理(69%)。2 年总生存率(OS)为 69.4%,无白血病生存率(LFS)为 62.1%。多变量分析显示,移植时年龄较大对 LFS 有负面影响(每增加 10 岁,HR=1.11,p=0.004)、GVHD 无复发生存率(GRFS)(HR=1.06,p=0.04)、OS(HR=1.12,p=0.002)和非复发死亡率(NRM)(HR=1.23,p<0.001)。较近年份的 allo-HSCT 与改善的 GFRS 相关(每增加 3 年,HR=0.89,p<0.001)、OS(HR=0.9,p=0.02)和降低的 NRM(HR=0.82,p=0.008)。TBI 改善了 LFS(HR=0.79,p=0.02)、GRFS(HR=0.83,p=0.04)和复发率(RI)(HR=0.65,p<0.001)。女性对男性的移植对 GRFS(HR=1.21,p=0.02)和 OS(HR=1.23,p=0.048)有负面影响。体内 T 细胞耗竭显著改善了 GFRS(HR=0.74,p<0.001)。这项大型研究确定了一些预后因素,如移植时的年龄和预处理方案,这些因素会影响接受 allo-HSCT 的成年 T-ALL 患者的移植后结果。重要的是,我们注意到随着时间的推移有显著的改善。这些发现为新的适应性治疗策略提供了巨大的希望,并可以作为该领域未来研究的基准。
