BACKGROUND: Real-world data on outcomes of upfront allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL) patients in first complete remission (CR1) is still lacking.

METHODS: A single center retrospective study was conducted from 94 consecutive patients received their first allo-HCT between 2010 and 2021, which include 76 patients received upfront allo-HCT and 18 patients received allo-HCT in non-upfront settings.

RESULTS: There were no significant differences in most variables. In the upfront allo-HCT group, 52 (68%) patients achieved CR1 with one cycle of induction regimen. 24 (32%) patients achieved CR1 with more than one cycle. In the non-upfront group, there were 14 patients with active disease and 4 patients in second CR before transplant. The majority of patients received antithymocyte globulin-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Median follow-up time was 51 months for both groups. 5-year overall survival (OS) was 54% in the upfront allo-HCT group. While, in the non-upfront group, 5-year OS were 19% (P = 0.013). 5-year progression free survival in the upfront group was higher than that in the non-upfront group (50% versus 20%, P = 0.02). 5-year cumulative incidence relapse rate was significantly higher in non-upfront group (64% vs. 32%, P = 0.006). While, there was no difference in the 5-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate (19% versus 16%, P = 0.56). The most common cause of death was disease progression. In multivariable analysis, non-upfront allo-HCT (hazard ratios (HR) 2.14, P = 0.03) and HCT-CI (≥ 2) (HR 6.07, P = 0.002) were identified to be associated with worse OS. Non-upfront allo-HCT and HCT-CI (≥ 2) were also found to be independent risk factors for higher relapse rate. While, haploidentical-HCT was found to be associated with increased NRM.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated that allo-HCT remains an important curative treatment for adult patients with T-ALL, especially when it was performed in the upfront setting.
