Talha Badar: The role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Ph+ve ALL

“The role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Ph+ve ALL?

Outcome of Ph+ve ALL has significantly improved with TKI combinations and not considered high risk disease anymore.

Talha Badar

Not too long ago, chemotherapy combinations with 1st or 2nd generation TKI showed OS benefit of allowing-HCT utilizing time dependent analysis!

Talha Badar

Most recently reported PhALLCON study 57% of pts in ponatinib arm compared to 30% imatinib arm received allo-HCT.

Recently conducted retrospective analysis among pts who achieve CMR at 3 months showed benefit of allo-HCT in improving CIR but not OS.

Our real-world analysis through COMMAND consortium also suggest benefit of alloHCT in improving RFS but not OS in contemporary era.

Updated results for D-ALBA study showed 27/29 pts who received dasatinib plus blina and achieved CMR remained in remission on long-term fu > 4 yrs

Talha Badar

Conclusion
There is significant international heterogeneity in available treatment; ponatinib, blinatumomab for induction outside of clinical trial are not readily available globally.
Resources restricted countries and several countries in Europe still utilize imatinib and chemo for induction, in those situations allo-HCT consolidation is valid option.
One can possibly avoid allo-HCT if potent TKI and blina consolidation can be give and pts achieves early CMR. allo-HCT should be considered in concurrent HR mutation such as IKZF1+.”
