Post-transplant cyclophosphamide versus anti-thymocyte globulin for graft-versus-host disease prevention in haploidentical transplantation for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Arnon Nagler et al.

Summary: A comparison was made between ATG and PTCy-based GvHD prophylaxis in 434 adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation, showing that PTCy resulted in a lower relapse incidence, improved leukemia-free survival, and overall survival compared to ATG.

Total Body Irradiation or Chemotherapy Conditioning in Childhood ALL: A Multinational, Randomized, Noninferiority Phase III Study

Christina Peters et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of preparative combination chemotherapy with total body irradiation in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Improved overall survival and lower risk of relapse were observed with total body irradiation plus etoposide compared to chemoconditioning, leading to a recommendation for total body irradiation plus etoposide in these patients.

Outcome of haploidentical versus matched sibling donors in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation

Arnon Nagler et al.

Summary: In this study comparing haploidentical stem cell transplantation (HaploSCT) and matched sibling donor (MSD) transplantation in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR), the outcomes in terms of leukemia-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival were found to be comparable between the two transplant groups.

Summary: In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using PTCy for GVHD prophylaxis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients, the donor type did not significantly impact transplant outcomes, with similar overall survival and relapse rates observed across different donor types.

Impact of Total Body Irradiation-Based Myeloablative Conditioning Regimens in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Farhad Khimani et al.

Summary: A systematic review comparing TBI-based and chemotherapy only-based myeloablative conditioning regimens for patients undergoing allo-HCT for ALL found that TBI-based regimens were associated with lower relapse rates, better overall survival, and progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy only-based regimens, without increasing nonrelapse mortality.

Improved Outcomes of Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation with Total Body Irradiation-Based Myeloablative Conditioning in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Bhagirathbhai Dholaria et al.

Summary: The study compared outcomes of ALL patients undergoing TBI-based versus CT-based MAC regimens. Results showed slightly better 2-year leukemia-free survival and overall survival in the TBI group compared to the CT group, but with no significant difference. Multivariate analysis revealed that TBI was associated with lower nonrelapse mortality, better leukemia-free survival, but increased risk for grade II-IV acute GVHD.
