Autologous Versus Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma in First Complete Remission

Overview

To evaluate, through a prospective multicenter observational study, autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-SCT/allo-SCT)as consolidation therapy in subjects with T lymphoblastic leukemia/Lymphoblastic lymphoma(T-ALL/LBL)who have achieved first complete remission (CR). Assess relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) among different treatment regimens

Detailed description

This prospective, multicenter cohort study enrolls patients with T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma in first complete remission (CR1) to investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous versus allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as consolidation therapy. At screening/baseline, informed consent is obtained and inclusion/exclusion criteria are checked. The planned enrollment is 84 patients per group. Data collection includes demographics, medical history, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests (cranial MRI with contrast, PET-CT, routine blood and urine tests, liver and kidney function, routine CSF analysis, biochemistry, abnormal cells), pregnancy tests for female patients, and other necessary auxiliary examinations.

• Any other uncontrolled active disease that precludes participation in the trial.
• Active, uncontrolled central nervous system involvement, or subjects with a history of CNS disease requiring treatment (e.g., epilepsy patients).
