Abstract
Objective
To explore the molecular response and prognostic factors of pediatric patients with Ph-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) with chemotherapy in TKI era.
Methods
The clinical data of children newly diagnosed with Ph+ ALL admitted at Department of Pediatrics, Peking University People′s Hospital from August 2006 to February 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.The molecular biological characteristics and survival prognosis of the 30 patients who received continuous TKI with chemotherapy from early induction combined and no subsequent transplantation were analyzed.
Results
The 30 patients with Ph+ ALL had 19 males and 11 females with a median age of 8-year-old (ranging from 2 to 16 years). The complete remission (CR) rate after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy was 96.7% (29/30 cases), with overall CR rate of 100.0%; Before treatment, the mean level of BCR/ABL mRNA in the 30 patients was 73.2% (0.12%-160.60%) and the level declined significantly with the progression of chemotherapy courses, reaching the plateau stage at the 6th month of chemotherapy (Z=-1.922, P>0.05); nine patients had recurrence, with a median recurrence time of 7 months (3.7-58.8 months). Univariate analysis showed that age (P<0.05), the lever of minimal residual disease (MRD) after induction chemotherapy (P<0.01) and the MRD level at the 3th month of induction chemotherapy (P<0.01) affected the recurrence rate.The median follow-up time of 30 patients was 42.6 months (6.4-96.5 months), and the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate and event-free survival (EFS) rate were (78.6±7.8)% and (72.4±8.4)%, respectively; Cox multivariate analysis showed that the initial white blood cell count ≥34.0×109/L (OR=11.955, 95% CI: 1.075-132.899, P<0.05) and BCR/ABL mRNA reduction less than 3 log from baseline [major molecular response (MMR)] at the 3th month of induction chemotherapy (OR=8.563, 95% CI: 1.254-58.478, P<0.05) were independent risk factors affecting the 3-year EFS rate.In addition, the initial white blood cell count ≥34.0×109/L (OR=14.327, 95% CI: 1.843-243.592, P<0.05) was also an independent risk factor affecting the 3-year OS rate.
Conclusions
The application of TKI can significantly deepen the molecular response of Ph+ ALL in children.In the TKI era, the initial white blood cell count ≥ 34.0×109/L and BCR/ABL mRNA reduction less than 3 log from baseline (MMR) at the 3th month of induction chemotherapy are independent risk factors for the long-term survival of pediatric Ph+ ALL.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics ( semi-monthly ) is a core journal of paediatrics under the supervision of China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by Chinese Medical Association and undertaken by Xinxiang Medical College. Founded in 1986, it is openly circulated both at home and abroad. The journal has several columns, such as Expert Forum, Experimental Research and Paediatric Surgery, which are mainly for paediatric medical workers and medical researchers in hospitals. Its purpose is to reflect the new theories and technologies in paediatric medicine and scientific research at home and abroad, and to promote academic exchanges.
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics is a source journal of China Science Citation Database (CSCD), a core journal of Peking University, a source journal of Chinese science and technology paper statistics (China Science and Technology Core Journals), a core academic journal of RCCSE, a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China, a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China Association for Science and Technology, and a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China Biomedical Science and Technology Association. We have been published in China Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), China Knowledge Network, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China Academic Journal Abstracts, Scopus Database, Chemical Abstracts (USA), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JSTA) Database, Copernicus Abstracts (Poland), Abstracts of the Centre for Agricultural and Biological Sciences (CABS) of the United Kingdom, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts ProQuest Database, WHO Medical Journal of the Western Pacific Region (WMPR), and WHO Medical Journal of the Western Pacific Region (WMPR) of the United States. We have been included in dozens of authoritative databases at home and abroad, such as WHO Western Pacific Region Index of Medicine (WPRIM), Ullrich's Guide to Periodicals, and so on.
