  1. Approaches to the management of adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Dr. Santiago Pavlovsky Scientific Director Angelica Ocampo Hospitalisation and Clinical Research Center - FUNDALEU Buenos Aires - Argentina

  2. WHO histological classification of precursor B-cell, T cell, and mature B-cell neoplasms • Precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: 70-85% adults ALL FAB: L1, L2; 10-15% lymphoblastic lymphoma. Phenotype:TdT (+), CD19 (+), CD22 (+), CD20 (+), CD79a+, S Ig (-). Cytogenetic:t (9;22) BCR/ABL (30%), t (4;11) gene ALL1/ AF4 ( 36%) • Precursor T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: 25% adults ALL FAB: L1, L2; 85-90% Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Phenotype: CD3 (+), CD4 (+), CD5 (+), CD7 (+), CD8 (+). Cytogenetic: MYC (8q 24.1) • Mature B-cell leukemia/lymphoma: 2-4% adults ALL FAB: L3, CD19 (+), CD20 (+), CD22 (+), TdT (-), S IgM (+), Ki-67 >95% of cells; t (8;14) (q24;q32) oncogene c-MYC. 2-3% are adult Burkitt ´s lymphoma.

  3. Adverse prognostic factors in adults ALL • Time to CR > 4 weeks. Late responders • Age > 35 years old. • Leukocyte > 30.000/mm3 • Immunophenotype: Pro B (B-lin., CD10-) Early T (T-lin., CD1a-, sCD3-) Mature T (T-lin., CD1a-, sCD3+) • Cytogenetics: t (9;22) BCR/ABL t (4;11) ALL1/AF4 • MRD (+) after induction and consolidation positive.

  4. Treatment strategy in the 80`s and 90`s BFM based for adults ALL • Induction: Prednisone-vincristine-daunorubicin- L-asparaginase for four weeks. • Consolidation: High-dose (CPM, Ara-C, Mtx) rotational of brief duration. • G-CSF: Reduce duration of neutropenia and early mortality (4% vs 11%). • CNS prophylaxis: High-dose MTX and TIT (ara-C- MTX-DMT). • Maintenance: 6MP+MTX with pulses for 18-24 mo. • Allo-BMT: For high-risk patients <45 years old.

  17. Imatinib given concurrenttly versus subsequent to induction and consolidation in newly diagnosis adults Ph`+ ALL • Imatinib 600 mg subsequent concurrent • No patients 48 46 • Log reduction 1.5 log 3.9 log • BCR/ABL neg PCR 10% 50% • % CR 96% • Grade III-IV toxicity lower higher OG Ottmann et al. Blood 104;No 11,abstr 685,2004

  18. Facts of Imatinib in BCR-ABL positive adults ALL • In 56 relapse/refractory patients Imatinib alone produced a 60% ORR with 19% CR. The TTP and OSV was 2.2 and 4.9 months respectively. (OG Ottmann et al: Blood 100:1965,2002) • Imatinib not cross the blood brain barrier and has a significant risk of CNS relapse without CNS prophylaxis. • Daily dose of Imatinib should be 600-800 mg. • As first line imatinib plus chemo produce 85-95% of CR. • Concurrent Imatinib /chemo is clearly superior than sequential or alternating, based on Q-RT-PCR determinations of BCR-ABL transcript levels.

  19. Target therapy in association with chemotherapy according to phenotype and BCR-ABL in adults ALL. Phenotype BCR-ABL CD20 CD52 Therapy T-Precursor Negative Negat. >10%+ Chemo+Alentuz Positive Negat. Negat. Chemo+Imatinib B-Precursor Posit. Negat. Chemo+Ritux. Negative Negat. Negat. Chemo only Negat. >10%+ Chemo+Alentuz Mature B Negative Posit. Chemo+Ritux.

  20. Conclusions • The largest advances in treatment of adults ALL were derived from the introduction of multiagent BFM like regimen on induction, consolidation and maintenance. • The ALL strategy must be perform according to cytological classification Precursor B or T cells or B mature cells . • MRD-based early response by flow cytometry or immunoglobulin H gene analysis identify the majority of patients at risk to relapse, and safe others from inadequately toxic therapy. • The use of Imatinib with chemo on induction and consolidation improve the prognosis of BCR/ABL positive adult ALL.
