Brief summary
Hyper-CVAD (a chemotherapy regimen) has shown promising results in adult T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). Patients with T-ALL diagnosis were reported to the Swedish Adult Acute Leukemia Registry between October 2002 and September 2006. Hyper-CVAD was recommended to all patients without severe comorbidity. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation was recommended for patients with high-risk disease. The aim of this population-based study was to assess the efficacy of Hyper-CVAD treatment.
Detailed description
Patients with T-ALL diagnosis were prospectively reported to the Swedish Adult Acute Leukemia Registry between October 2002 and September 2006. Missing data were complemented retrospectively. Hyper-CVAD (fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone alternating with cycles of high-dose methotrexate and cytarabine) was recommended to all patients without severe comorbidity. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) was recommended for patients with high-risk disease: white blood cell count \>100×109/L, complete remission (CR) achievement after more than two courses, high minimal residual disease level, and relapsed disease (after CR2 achievement). In patients without high-risk factors maintenance therapy was given with per oral mercaptopurine and methotrexate for two years including reinduction courses: daunorubicine, vincristine and prednisolone every second month (1st year) and cytarabine, thioguanine and prednisolone every third month (2nd year).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall survival | The outcome was assesed from T-ALL diagnosis to date of death or last follow-up (up to 125 months). Diagnosis was made between October 2002 and September 2006. All surviving patients were followed up until February 2013. | Overall survival was defined as time from T-ALL diagnosis to the date of death from any cause or the date of last follow-up. All events (death/relapse) were reported prospectively to the the swedish acute leukemia registry. Inclusion Criteria: All patients with T-ALL diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria: No |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| leukemia free survival | The outcome was assesed from T-ALL diagnosis to date of death or last follow-up (up to 125 months). Diagnosis was made between October 2002 and September 2006. All surviving patients were followed up until February 2013. | Leukemia free survival was defined as time from achievement of complete remission to the date of T-ALL relapse or date of death from any cause or date of last follow-up. All events (death/relapse) were reported prospectively to the the swedish acute leukemia registry. Inclusion Criteria: All patients with T-ALL diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria: No |
