Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and MLL rearrangement. Methods: From September 2009 to May 2016, the clinical data of 47 patients with MLL-rearranged AML undergoing allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among 47 MLL-rearranged AML patients, 24 were male and 23 female. The median age was 30 (15-58) years old. There are 36 (76%) patients were FAB-types M4/M5. Two-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse incidence and transplant-related mortality (TRM) were (64.4±8.4)%, (47.3±9.3)%, 41.0% and 17.9%, respectively. Of them, 45 patients were detected with 11q23 translocations, and 2 patients with normal karyotype were MLL partial tandem duplication. According to different chromosome karyotype, 47 patients were divided into three groups: 16 cases of t (6; 11), 15 cases of t (9; 11) and 16 cases of other types. Overall survival was compared between the three groups, there was no significant difference (χ(2)=1.509, P=0.472). On multivariate analysis, independent risk factor on OS was transplant age >45 years [HR=4.454(95%CI 1.314-15.099), P=0.016]. The multivariate analysis also confirmed the higher TRM in patients at non-CR state when transplanted [HR=10.370(95%CI 1.043-103.110), P=0.046]. Positive minimal residual disease (MRD) before transplantation was a negative prognostic factor on DFS [HR=4.236(95%CI 1.238-14.495), P=0.021] and relapse incidence (RI) [HR=5.491(95%CI 1.371-21.995), P=0.016]. Conclusion: Transplant age (>45 years), allo-HSCT in non-CR state adn positive MRD before transplantation were negative prognostic factors in allo-HSCT for MLL-rearranged AML patients.

目的: 研究混合谱系白血病(MLL)基因重排阳性急性髓系白血病(AML)患者行异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)的预后特点。 方法: 回顾性分析2009年9月至2016年5月于苏州大学附属第一医院行allo-HSCT的47例MLL基因重排阳性AML患者的临床资料。 结果: 全部47例MLL重排阳性AML患者中男24例,女23例,中位年龄30(15~58)岁,M(4)/M(5)共36例(76.6%)。移植后2年总生存(OS)率为(64.4±8.4)%,无病生存(DFS)率为(47.3±9.3)%,复发率为41.0%,移植相关死亡率为17.9%。45例患者检出11q23易位,2例染色体核型正常患者检出MLL部分串联重复。t(6;11)组(16例)、t(9;11)组(15例)、其他类型组(16例)的2年OS率差异无统计学意义(χ(2)=1.509,P=0.472)。多因素分析显示,移植时年龄>45岁是影响OS的独立危险因素[HR=4.454(95%CI 1.314~15.099),P=0.016],移植前MRD阳性是影响患者DFS[HR=4.236(95%CI 1.238~14.495),P=0.021]、复发[HR=5.491(95% CI 1.371~21.995),P=0.016]的独立不良预后因素,移植前疾病处于非CR状态患者移植相关死亡风险增高[HR=10.370(95%CI 1.043~103.110),P=0.046]。 结论: 移植时年龄>45岁、移植前疾病处于非CR状态、移植前MRD阳性为影响allo-HSCT治疗MLL基因重排阳性AML患者预后的危险因素。.
