description Objectives: To compare the outcomes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in combination with reduced-dose chemotherapy with those of standard induction chemotherapy, as well as the outcomes between chemotherapy and transplantation, in adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of Ph+ ALL treated with TKIs and combination chemotherapy. The patients were allocated to either the TKIs with reduced-dose chemotherapy group or the TKIs with standard chemotherapy group. In additions, patients were further stratified into either the transplant group or the non-transplant group.Results: The complete remission rate (88.7% vs. 83.9%, p = 0.372), major molecular response (58.9% vs. 56.0%, p = 0.750), molecular complete response (20.5% vs. 22.0%, p = 0.891), and early mortality rate (3.2% vs. 3.5%, p = 0.922) were similar between the TKIs with reduced-dose chemotherapy group and the TKIs with standard chemotherapy group. The proportions of lung infections, bloodstream infections, patients with >21 days of hospitalization, the total costs, transfusion costs, and antimicrobial costs were higher in the standard chemotherapy group than in the TKIs with reduced-dose chemotherapy group. The 3-year overall survival rates (59.0% [95% CI, 46.6–74.7%] vs. 38.4% [95% CI, 29.9–49.4%]) and disease-free survival rates (48.6% [95% CI, 34.2–69.1%] vs. 32.0% [95% CI, 23.5–43.7%]) were significantly better in the transplant group than in the non-transplant group.Conclusion: An induction regimen combining TKIs with reduced-dose chemotherapy and transplantation during the first complete remission remains a suitable and effective option for patients with Ph+ ALL.
