Study summary

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the important consolidation for adult T-LBL. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is also the important consolidation for adult T-LBL. So ASCT vs allo-HSCT: which is better consolidation for adult T-LBL?

Read the detailed description
  1. Characteristics of adult T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a highly aggressive lymphoma which shares biological and morphological features with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), and T-LBL is conventionally distinguished from T-ALL by less than 25% bone marrow (BM) infiltrating blasts cells. T-LBL only represents 3-4% of adult's non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) which is a rare histologic subtype of NHL in adults. For this reason, few studies had focused on the disease-specific cohort of adult T-LBL patients and most of the studies included both T-LBL and T-ALL.
  2. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the important consolidation for adult T-LBL The treatment paradigm of T-LBL is evolving. In the 1980s, when patients were treated with lymphoma-like regimens, the outcome of T-LBL was dismal and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was only 22% and 32%, respectively. ALL-like regimens significantly increase the complete response (CR) rate to more than 90% in T-LBL patients; however, disease relapse negatively impacts the long-term survival. For example, the 3-year OS rates of T-LBL could be as high as 66.9% to 70% while the 5-year OS rates decrease to below 50% in adults.

    ASCT is an important consolidation for adult T-LBL, which could also improve the survival of T-LBL compared with those only receiving chemotherapy. However, for patients with some risk factors (such as central nervous system [CNS] involvement or bone marrow [BM] involvement), the survival was very poor. In addition, ASCT is associated with a significantly higher risk of disease progression or recurrence.

  3. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is also the important consolidation for adult T-LBL Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the most important curative treatments for T-LBL mainly because of the graft-versus-lymphoma effect, particularly for those with high-risk characteristics of relapse. Recently, in a multicenter study of China enrolled 130 Ann-Arbor stage III or IV T-LBL patients (> 16 years) treated with allo-HSCT, the 2-year probabilities of disease progression, PFS, OS and NRM after allo-HSCT were 21.0%, 69.8%, 79.5%, and 9.2%, respectively. Patients with CNS involvement had a higher cumulative incidence of disease progression compared with those without CNS involvement (57.1% vs. 18.9%, P = 0.014). Patients receiving allo-HSCT in non-remission (NR) had a poorer PFS compared with those receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) (49.2% vs. 72.7%, P = 0.041). Particularly, for patients with BM involvement and achieving CR before allo-HSCT, measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity before allo-HSCT was associated with a poorer PFS compared with MRD negativity (62.7% vs. 86.8 %, HR 1.94, P = 0.036). Thus, this real-world data suggested that allo-HSCT appeared to be an effective therapy for adults T-LBL patients with Ann-Arbor stage III or IV disease.
  4. ASCT vs allo-HSCT: which is better consolidation for adult T-LBL Thus far, whether allo-HSCT could be superior to ASCT as consolidation in T-LBL was unknown, which should be identified by randomized controlled trials.

Interventions

  • ProcedureASCT

    The chemotherapy-based preconditioning regimen was BeEAM, which consisted of bendamustine (120-180 mg·m-2·day-1,days -8 to -7), etoposide (200 mg·m-2·day-1,days -6 to -3), cytarabine (400 mg·m-2·day-1,days -6 to -3), and melphalan (140 mg·m-2·day-1,days -2).

  • ProcedureAllo-HSCT

    Chemotherapy-based preconditioning regimen consisted of cytarabine 4 g·m-2·day-1 (days -9), busulfan (3.2 mg·kg-1·day-1 administered intravenously on days -8 to -6) (day 0 being the first day of donor cell infusion), cyclophosphamide (1.8 g·m-2·day-1, days -5 to -4), and semustine (250 mg.m-2, day -3). For the patients older than 55 years old or with HCT-CI score of 3 or more, cyclophosphamide can be decreased to 1.0 g·m-2·day-1, days -5 to -4, and added fludarabine (30mg·m-2·day-1, days -6 to -2). Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (thymoglobulin, 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg, days -5 to -2; Sanofi, France) was administered to the HID and URD groups or MSD HSCT recipients who older than 40 years old (1.5 mg/kg, days -4 to -2). All MSD, HID, and URD HSCT recipinets received cyclosporine A (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and short-term methotrexate (MTX) for GVHD prophylaxis. CsA (2.5 mg/kg, q12h, intravenous \[i.v.\]) was used from day -9, of which the trough concentration was adjusted to 150-250 ng

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression/relapse, or death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Probability of PFS at months 1, 2, 6, 12, 18 & 24 will be estimated from the Kaplan-Meier curves for each arm.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Relapse

    Relapse, defined as the time from date of randomization to date of disease progression/relapse.

    Time frame: Cumulative incidence of disease progression/relapse at months 1, 2, 6, 12, 18 & 24 will be estimated, considering non-relapse mortality as competing events.

  2. Non-relapse mortality (NRM)

    NRM, defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death not preceded by disease progression/relapse.

    Time frame: Cumulative incidence of NRM at months 1, 2, 6, 12, 18 & 24 will be estimated, considering disease progression/relapse as competing events.

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    OS, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Probability of overall survival at months 1, 2, 6, 12, 18 & 24 will be estimated from the Kaplan-Meier curves for each arm.
