Summary
No data on inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) in infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) have been published to date. We collected data internationally on infants/young children (<3 years) with ALL treated with InO. Fifteen patients (median 4.4 months at diagnosis) received InO due to relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease. Median percentage of CD22+ blasts was 72% (range 40–100%, n = 9). The median dose in the first course was 1.74 mg/m2 (fractionated). Seven patients (47%) achieved complete remission; one additional minimal residual disease (MRD)‐positive patient became MRD‐negative. Six‐month overall survival was 47% (95% confidence interval [CI] 27–80%). Two patients developed veno‐occlusive disease after transplant. Further evaluation of InO in this subgroup of ALL is justified.
ConclusionHaplo-HSCT in 1 and 2 remissions of AL allows to achieve 10-year OS in 64.7% of children, while the type of acute leukemia does not influence the outcome of haplo-HSCT. The acceptable frequency of development of aGVHD III 0 -IV 0 -18.6% allows to treat haplo-HSCT as therapy in 1 and 2 remissions of high risk group. The main complication of haplo-HSCT is relapse -23.5% in the early posttransplant period to D + 100.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
