Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia, but relapse is the most common problem affecting long-term survivors of allo-HSCT. Therapy options for relapse include stopping immune suppression, re-induction of chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or combination therapy. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the safety and efficacy of hypomethylating agents (HMA) + DLI and DLI preemptive therapy based on minimal residual disease in acute leukemia undergoing allo-HSCT are evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia, but relapse is the most common problem affecting long-term survivors of allo-HSCT. Therapy options for relapse include stopping immune suppression, re-induction of chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or combination therapy. One method of solving relapse is to intervene before hematologic or pathologic relapse occurs based on minimal residual disease (MRD) . DLI is an effective post-transplantation therapy based on MRD for relapse. Whether combination of hypomethylating agents (HMA) and DLI could improve outcomes remains unclear. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the safety and efficacy of HMA+DLI and DLI preemptive therapy based on minimal residual disease in acute leukemia undergoing allo-HSCT are evaluated.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HMA+DLI

For AL patients who achieved CR at pre-transplantation undergoing allo-HSCT, DLI was not given and immunosuppressant were withdrawn if patients were MRD persistently negative. MRD status were monitored every 30 days. If patients were MRD negative by Day+30 post-transplantation, MRD status would be continued to be monitored by Day+60. If patients were MRD positive by Day+30 post-transplantation, immunosuppressant were withdrawn. If MRD were persistently positive until Day+60 or MRD changed from negative by Day+30 to positive by Day +60 post-transplantation, HMA and DLI were given. DLI was given 48 hours after administration of HMA. DLI was given monthly until GVHD occurred or MRD became negative or a total of four times. If MRD changed from positive by Day+30 to negative by Day+60 post-transplantation, MRD status would be continued to be monitored by Day+90 post-transplantation. If patients were MRD positive by Day+90 post-transplantation, HMA and DLI were given as shown above.

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

HMA: Decitabine was administered at 20mg/m2/day for five consecutive days or Ara-C was administered at 75mg/m2/day for seven consecutive days. DLI was administered at a median dose of 1.0 (range 0.7-1.4) ×10\*8 mononuclear cells/kg.

DLI

For AL patients who achieved CR at pre-transplantation undergoing allo-HSCT, DLI was not given and immunosuppressant were withdrawn if patients were MRD persistently negative. MRD status were monitored every 30 days. If patients were MRD negative by Day+30 post-transplantation, MRD status would be continued to be monitored by Day+60 post-transplantation. If patients were MRD positive by Day+30 post-transplantation, immunosuppressant were withdrawn. If MRD were persistently positive until Day+60 or MRD changed from negative by Day+30 to positive by Day+60 post-transplantation, DLI was given. DLI was given monthly until GVHD occurred or MRD became negative or a total of four times. If MRD changed from positive by Day+30 to negative by Day+60 post-transplantation, MRD status would be continued to be monitored by Day+90 post-transplantation. If patients were MRD positive by Day+90 post-transplantation, DLI was given as shown above.
