Fludarabine, amsacrine, high-dose cytarabine and 12 Gy total body irradiation followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is effective in patients with relapsed or high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Bone Marrow Transplantation 2009 December
In this prospective study, we examined the toxicity and efficacy of an intensified conditioning regimen for treatment of patients with relapsed or high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Fifteen patients received fludarabine 30 mg/m(2), cytarabine 2000 mg/m(2), amsacrine 100 mg/m(2) on days -10, -9, -8 and -7, anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG-Fresenius) 20 mg/kg body weight on days -6, -5 and -4 and fractionated total body irradiation 2 x 2 Gy on days -3, -2 and -1 (FLAMSA-ATG-TBI) before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. At the time of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 10 patients were in complete remission (8 CR1; 2 CR2), 3 with primary refractory and 2 suffered from refractory relapse. All patients achieved a complete remission after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; and after a median follow-up time of 1091 days (range, 334-1554 days), nine patients (60%) are alive and free from disease, including three patients with prior refractory disease. Three patients died due to treatment-related mortality. The most frequent and severe conditioning-related toxicities observed in 9 out of 15 patients were grade III/IV infections according to common toxicity criteria. Thus, conditioning with the FLAMSA-ATG-TBI regimen is a feasible and effective alternative for patients with relapsed or high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
