ADULT ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIADefinitions In This Presentation Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22)(q34;q11) negative “Adults” = age > 35 years
ADULT ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIABackground • Pediatric ALL: 85% cure rate • Adult ALL: Different biology and treatment results • ~ 90% complete remission in age < 60 yr • But despite arduous, long term therapy: • 5-yr survival 30-40% in pts < age 60 yr • 5-yr survival <15% in pts > age 60 yr • 7% survival @ 5 years after relapse: few 2nd chances

ADULT ALL POST-REMISSION> 100 Patients/Trial: Age 15-64 Years
TRANSPLANT INTENT-TO-TREAT TRIALSPitfalls Donor vs No Donor Studies • Donor / no donor assigned @ different time points • “Geography” of locating sibs affects search time • If no sib, ? assign to “no donor” @ diagnosis • Older studies: do not address unrelated donors • “Relatively” less-intense induction • CALGB AYA study 10403 • Not all “donor” assignments go to transplant • Physician bias and patient refusal
ALTERNATIVE DONORSGraft Source Considerations Time-censoring bias may improves URD outcome: correction required J Mehta. Blood 112: 447-448, 2008

REDUCED INTENSITY CONDITIONINGRelying On “Allogeneic Effect”
Evidence For GVL Effect In Adult ALL? Yes • PL Weiden, FHCRC. NEJM 300: 1068-1073, 1979 • 163 allografts without GVHD vs 79 allografts with GVHD • Relative relapse rate 2.5 times lower with GVHD (p<0.01) • Anti-leukemia effect more marked in ALL than AML • AH Goldstone, UK MRC & ECOG. Blood111: 1827-1833, 2008 • 239 pts: relapse rate 24% for donor vs 49% no donor (p<0.00005) • High-risk: 37% relapse rate donor vs 63% no donor (p<0.00005)
ADULT ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIAReduced Intensity Conditioning

MINIMAL RESIDUAL DISEASEUnresolved Issues • Greater use in Europe; need to penetrate USA & other areas • Time to perform assay; real-time availability • Determine optimal methodologies • Standardization of methodologies and definitions • Ensure comparability • Which time points to assay? • Increased cost; who will pay? • Effect of change in therapy? • Transplant (positive) vs no transplant (negative)
ALL CR1 PATIENTS AGE 35-70 YRLikelihood To Recommend Transplant
ALL CR1 PATIENTS AGE 35-70 YRFactors Affecting Transplant Conditioning
ALL CR1 PATIENTS AGE 35-70 YRRecommendations and *Paradox • Age <35 yr, enroll on “peds intensity” regimen: • ? whether abrogates need for transplant • ? age at which regimen not tolerated by adults • Age 35-45 yr – gray area, assess risk factors • strongly consider hematopoietic cell transplant • Age > 45 yr – consider transplant, possibly RIC Given greater use of more intensive induction & consolidation therapy in younger patients: *potentially more transplants in older patients *Anthony H.
