Popis: The optimal treatment for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in first complete remission (CR1) has not been established in the high-intensity chemotherapy era. The outcomes of patients with Ph-negative ALL who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a human leukocyte antigen-matched related or unrelated donor in CR1 (HSCT-MRD group and HSCT-MUD group) were obtained from a Japanese registry database. Patients aged 16–24 years and 25–65 years were analyzed separately, and their outcomes were compared to those of patients who continued high-intensity chemotherapy in CR1 in studies (202U group and 202O group) by the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG). In the HSCT-MRD group, patients younger than 25 years had lower overall survival (OS) than the 202U group, presumably due to the higher non-relapse mortality (NRM) in the HSCT-MRD group. Patients 25 years and older had similar OS to the 202O group. The lower relapse rate was counterbalanced by higher NRM in the HSCT-MRD group. In the HSCT-MUD group, patients in both age groups had similar OS to their corresponding groups in the JALSG studies. In conclusion, high-intensity chemotherapy may change the role of HSCT for Ph-negative ALL.
