Objective: To analyze the outcomes of the children suffered from philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PhALL) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) plus chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Methods: 21 cases of firstly diagnosed PhALL patients aged <12 year treated with Chinese Childhood Leukemia Group ALL 2008 (CCLG-ALL 2008) protocol form January 2008 and April 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups, one group was TKI+ chemotherapy group, the other group was allo-HSCT group.
Results: Among 21 patients, 17 were male and 4 were female with a median age of 8 years old (range, 4-12 years), the median follow-up time was 30 moths (range, 10-133 months). All the patients were treated with chemotherapy induced by the high-risk project of CCLG-ALL 2008. Among 14 patients treated with TKI plus chemotherapy, nine patients achieved complete remission. During 3 months after treatment, patients without complete molecular response or with the second complete remission and intensity desire of transplantation were treated with allo-HSCT, among 9 patients with allo-HSCT, six patients achieved long term survival.
Conclusion: At TKI era, TKI combined with strong chemotherapy can make Ph ALL children achieve 5 years event-free survival as campared those treated with allo-HSCT. However, for the patients without complete molecular response persistently and relapsed they can still benefit from allo-HSCT.
