AbstractBetween 1990 and 1997, we performed 29 allogeneic BMTs for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients with HLA-identical sibs. Their median age was 31 years (range 15 to 43); there were 15 males and 14 females. The conditioning protocol was Cy-TBI (n= 15), VP16-Cy-TBI(n= 12), CBV (n= 1) and Bu-Cy (n = 1). Cyclosporin and methotrexate were used for GVHD prophylaxis. The median disease-free survival (DFS) was 12 months (range 1 to 92) with an actuarial 4-years DFS of 42.3 per cent. Three patientS died of transplant- related complications before 100 days. Relapse occurred in i 1 cases at a median time of 5 months (range 3 to 14). All nine patients relapsing within one year died form resistant leukemia. Three patients died of late treatment- related complications. There were 13 survivors (median follow-up 38 months, range 12-98), with 12 in remission. Only four had limited cGVHD, and all had 100 per cent performance scores. One patient also cleared her chronic hepatitis B carrier status due to acquired immunity. The DFS rates amongst CR1 cases and R1/CR2 cases were comparable (p=0.39). No long-term DFS is obtained from patients with resistant disease (n=4). The survival results for BMT at CR1 were superior to those using intensive chemotherapy consolidation (p=0.29), mainly due to poor late results in the chemotherapy arm. For young ALL patients with HLA-matched siblings, the option of BMT should be considered in light of local consolidation survival results.
