Abstract
Background: Patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are considered to have worse outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) than patients with other hematological malignancies, owing to high risk of relapse and immunocompromised status. However, no studies have compared transplant outcomes between patients with ATL and those with other hematological malignancies using a large-scale database.
Objectives: To compare transplant outcomes between patients with ATL and those with other leukemias and to identify factors contributing to worse transplant outcomes in ATL patients.
Study design: Using Japanese registry data, we retrospectively compared transplant outcomes between patients with ATL and those with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). As ATL often develops in patients in their 60s or older, patients with ATL, AML, or ALL aged ≥50 years were included in order to compare patients in the same age group. A total of 7764 patients (ATL, n = 1151; AML, n = 5393; ALL, n = 1220) who underwent their first allo-HSCT between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2017 were included in this study.
Results: Compared with AML, ATL showed significantly worse overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14 to 1.34; P < .001) and higher risk of relapse (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.47; P < .001), while there were no significant differences between AML and ALL. Among patients in complete remission (CR) at transplantation, ATL showed worse OS (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.56; P = .006), higher risk of relapse (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.48 to 2.14; P < .001), and higher risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.33; P = .001) in comparison with AML, whereas there were no significant differences between AML and ALL.
Conclusion: We found that ATL patients have poor transplant outcomes compared with AML or ALL patients. In ATL patients, survival is poor, relapse is more frequent, and NRM is significantly higher, especially in cases of CR. These findings suggest that prevention of relapse and transplant-related complications is important for successful allo-HSCT in ATL.
