T-cell-rich HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for relapsed/refractory pediatric Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia without posttransplant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

摘要

Intensive chemotherapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) improves the prognosis of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-ALL). However, the prognosis of cases of relapsed or refractory Ph-ALL remains poor. Here, we aimed to assess the efficacy of T-cell-rich HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (TCR-haploHSCT) in eight patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric Ph-ALL. Transplant-related mortality was observed in two patients. All patients discontinued TKI after receiving TCR-haplo-HSCT. The 3-year probability of overall survival and event-free survival was 75.0 and 62.5%, respectively. These results indicate the efficacy of TCR-haplo-HSCT for relapsed/refractory pediatric Ph-ALL.
