Various transplant strategies have been designed to improve the poor prognosis of adult (15-60) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The GOELAL02 trial evaluated the impact of early allogeneic bone-marrow transplantation (alloBMT) or delayed unpurged autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for patients without HLA-matched sibling donor or over 50 years. Inclusion criteria included at least one of the following: age > 35 years, non-T ALL, leukocytosis > 30 x 109/L, t(9;22), t(4;11) or t(1;19); failure to achieve complete remission (CR) after one induction course. Among 198 patients the median age was 33 years. The CR rate was 80% with vincristine, idarubicine, L-asparaginase and randomized IV or oral steroids (P=ns). AlloBMT was performed after two consolidation courses while ASCT was delayed after one additional reinduction. Intensified conditioning regimen before transplant included etoposide, cyclophosphamide and TBI. Median follow-up was 5.1 years. The median overall survival (OS) was 29 months with a 6-year OS of 41%. On an intent-to-treat analysis for patients < 50, alloBMT improved significantly the 6-year OS (75% versus 40% after ASCT; P = .0027). Randomized Interferon- alpha maintenance had no effect on relapse or survival after ASCT. In conclusion, the outcome of adult ALL is better after early alloBMT than after delayed ASCT.
