Immunotherapy and Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation in B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: How to Sequence?

Abstract Long-term disease control is achieved in 80–90% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia of B origin (B-ALL). About half of adult and 10% of pediatric patients develop refractory or relapsed disease, whereas survival after relapse accounts about 10% in adults and 30–50% in children. Al...

description Abstract Long-term disease control is achieved in 80–90% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia of B origin (B-ALL). About half of adult and 10% of pediatric patients develop refractory or relapsed disease, whereas survival after relapse accounts about 10% in adults and 30–50% in children. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation offers remarkable benefit in cases with unfavorable outcome. Nevertheless, novel immunotherapeutic options have been approved for patients with adverse prognosis. Immunotherapeutic agents, nowadays, are preferred over standard chemotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL The mode of action, efficacy and safety data of immunotherapeutic agents released, indications and sequence of those therapies over the course of treatment, are herein reviewed.
