The French protocol LALA 87 was designed to compare three different postinduction strategies in adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): chemotherapy, autologous transplantation, and allogeneic transplantation. This trial demonstrated a significant superiority of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in high-risk ALL patients. Similarly, there was a trend in favor of autologous BMT over chemotherapy in those same patients. Allogeneic BMT was not superior to autologous BMT or chemotherapy in less aggressive leukemia (standard-risk ALL). Further improvements are warranted in the treatment of adult ALL. The authors' current ongoing study is stratifying patients to allocate them to regimens with risk-adapted treatment intensity.
