Abstract

Total body irradiation (TBI) at myeloablative doses is superior to chemotherapy-based regimens in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, in elderly and unfit patients, in whom reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens are preferred, whether a TBI-based or a chemotherapy-based approach is better is unexplored. Thiotepa can be used as part of ALL conditioning regimens. The current study aimed to compare transplantation outcomes after RIC with TBI-based or thiotepa-based regimens in patients with ALL. The study cohort comprised patients aged =40 years undergoing allo-HSCT for ALL in first complete remission between 2000 and 2020 who received an RIC regimen containing either TBI (4 to 6 Gy) or thiotepa. We identified a total of 265 patients, including 117 who received a TBI-based RIC regimen and 148 who received a thiotepa-based RIC regimen. Univariate analysis revealed no significant differences in the following transplantation outcomes for TBI versus thiotepa: relapse, 23% versus 28% (P = .24); nonrelapse mortality, 20% versus 26% (P = .61); leukemia-free survival, 57% versus 46% (P = .12); overall survival, 67% versus 56% (P = .18); graft-versus-host disease (GVHD]/relapse-free survival, 45% versus 38% (P = .21); grade II-IV acute GVHD, 30% in both groups (P = .84); grade III-IV acute GVHD, 9% versus 10% (P = .89). The sole exception was the incidence of chronic GVHD, which was higher in the recipients of TBI-based regimens (43% versus 29%; P = .03). However, multivariate analysis revealed no differences in transplantation outcomes between the 2 groups. In patients aged =40 years receiving RIC, use of a thiotepa-based regimen may represent a valid alternative to TBI-based regimens, as no differences were observed in the main transplantation outcomes.
