Abstract
AbstractThis is a retrospective study comparing the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and chemotherapy for patients in the first complete remission period for acute myeloid leukemia with KMT2A-MLLT3 rearrangements. A total of 22 patients were included, all of whom achieved first complete remission (CR1) through 1–2 rounds of induction chemotherapy, excluding patients with an early relapse. Twelve patients were treated with UCBT, and 10 patients were treated with chemotherapy after 2 to 4 courses of consolidation therapy. The 3-year overall survival (OS) of the UCBT group was 71.3% (95% CI, 34.4–89.8%), and that of the chemotherapy group was 10% (95% CI, 5.89–37.3%). The OS of the UCBT group was significantly higher than that of the chemotherapy group (P = 0.003). The disease-free survival (DFS) of the UCBT group was 60.8% (95% CI, 25.0–83.6%), which was significantly higher than the 10% (95% CI, 5.72–35.8%) of the chemotherapy group (P = 0.003). The relapse rate of the UCBT group was 23.6% (95% CI, 0–46.8%), and that of the chemotherapy group was 85.4% (95% CI, 35.8–98.4%), which was significantly higher than that of the UCBT group (P < 0.001). The non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate in the UCBT group was 19.8% (95% CI, 0–41.3%), and that in the chemotherapy group was 0.0%. The NRM rate in the UCBT group was higher than that in the chemotherapy group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.272). Two patients in the UCBT group relapsed, two died of acute and chronic GVHD, and one patient developed chronic GVHD 140 days after UCBT and is still alive, so the GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 50% (95% CI, 17.2–76.1%). AML patients with KMT2A-MLLT3 rearrangements who receive chemotherapy as their consolidation therapy after CR1 have a very poor prognosis. UCBT can overcome the poor prognosis and significantly improve survival, and the GRFS for these patients is very good. We suggest that UCBT is a better choice than chemotherapy for KMT2A-MLLT3 patients.
