Posttransplant relapse is the most significant challenge in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). Posttransplant interventions, in conjunction with optimal conditioning regimens and donor selection, are increasingly supported by evidence for their potential to prolong patient survival by promoting antileukemia or graft-versus-leukemia effects. Our review begins by highlighting the current evidence supporting maintenance therapy for relapse prevention in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. This includes a broad spectrum of strategies, such as targeted therapies, hypomethylating agents, venetoclax, and immunotherapies. We then shift our focus to the role of disease monitoring after alloSCT, emphasizing the potential importance of early detection of measurable residual disease and a drop in donor chimerism. We also provide an overview of salvage therapies for overt relapse, including targeted therapies, chemotherapies, immunotherapies, donor lymphocyte infusion, and selected agents under investigation in ongoing clinical trials. Finally, we review the evidence for a second alloSCT (HSCT2) and discuss factors that impact donor selection for HSCT2.
移植后复发是异基因干细胞移植(alloSCT)中最严峻的挑战。移植后的干预措施,与优化的预处理方案及供体选择相结合,因其通过促进抗白血病或移植物抗白血病效应来延长患者生存期的潜力,越来越多地得到了证据支持。我们的综述首先着重介绍目前支持在急性髓系白血病和急性淋巴细胞白血病中进行维持治疗以预防复发的证据。这包括一系列广泛的策略,如靶向治疗、去甲基化药物、维奈克拉和免疫疗法。然后,我们将重点转向alloSCT后疾病监测的作用,强调早期检测可测量残留疾病和供体嵌合体下降的潜在重要性。我们还概述了针对明显复发的挽救疗法,包括靶向治疗、化疗、免疫疗法、供体淋巴细胞输注以及正在进行的临床试验中正在研究的选定药物。最后,我们回顾了进行第二次alloSCT(HSCT2)的证据,并讨论影响HSCT2供体选择的因素。
