Filter by:Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains one of the currently available curative therapies for acute leukemia (AL). Leukemia relapse is one of the mainly causes of transplant failure. We reported previously that patients with high-risk molecular biomarkers who still have detectable minimal residual disease(MRD) pre-HSCT were at very high risk of relapse, with cumulative relapse rate of 50-80%. Decitabine has been demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia and myelodysplastiv syndrome. It was reported that the combination of decitabine, with busufan and cyclophosphamide as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT using HLA-matching donors was safe and effective. In this prospective, single-arm clinical trial, we aimed to examine the efficacy of combining decitabine with modified busulfan and cyclophosphamide (mBU/CY) as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT in patients with very high-risk AL and detectable MRD pre-HSCT.
In this study, a randomized, prospective, multicenter, open cohort study was conducted to investigate patients with acute leukemia (14～60-year-old) with different ATG doses (10 mg / kg and 12.5 mg / kg ) in fludarabine, busulfan, cyclophosphamide and antilymphocyte globulin (FBCA) pretreatment protocol of Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). The purpose is to compare the incidences of chronic graft vs host disease (cGVHD) in haplo-HSCT recipients receiving different dose ATG and one year leukemia relapse after transplantation. The main objective was to investigate the optimal dose of ATG for decrease cGVHD and not increase one year relapse leukemia after haplo-HSCT. Its significance is to provide evidence-based medical evidence to reduce the occurrence of cGVHD and to improve the quality of life of patients with haplo-HSCT.
B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy. Despite enhancement of childhood B-ALL outcome, relapses remain difficult to treat. Several studies in adult acute myeloid leukaemia have shown that proliferation of immunosuppressive cells -particularly T regulatory (Treg) cells and deficient natural killer (NK) cells- was associated with poor response to chemotherapy. However, few studies have been done on childhood ALL and none on relapse of B-ALL. Moreover, a newly described immunosuppressive B cells subset (Breg cells) seems to have a role in oncogenesis in mice model, but its significance has never been evaluated in human cancers. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the immune status of children newly diagnosed with first relapse of B-cell ALL, and to compare results with those of children treated for B-ALL in complete remission. Classic lymphocytic phenotype, proportions of immunosuppressive cells (Treg cells, deficient NK cells, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 and/or Programmed T cell death 1) and thymopoiesis will be evaluated. The investigators assume that increase of immunosuppressive cells proportions could be associated with B-ALL relapse.
