Résumé
Early T-cell precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL/LBL) is a newly recognized entity of T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The optimal therapeutic approaches to adult patients are poorly studied. We compared the outcomes of adult's patents with ETP-ALL/LBL who received frontline chemotherapy regimens with other T-ALL/LBL immunophenotypic subtypes. Patients with ETP-ALL/LBL were identified based on CD1a (-), CD8 (-), CD5 (-) (dim), and positivity for 1 or more stem cell or myeloid antigens. Sixty-nine patients were included between the years 2010 and 2021 (19 ETP-T-ALL/LBL; 50 non ETP- T-cell ALL/LBL). The median age was 26 year (IQR: 21, 33). Fifty-six patients presented as ALL, while 16 with lymphoblastic lymphoma. Forty-seven patients achieved complete remission, and 43 were alive at last encounter. The complete remission rate in patients with ETP-ALL/LBL was lower than that of non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients (32% vs. 68%; P = .2), and the MRD at end of induction was significantly higher (26% vs. 6.2%, P < .001), and more likely to receive allo-SCT consolidation in CR1 (95% vs. 40%, P < .001). After a median follow-up of survivors of 48 months (range: 32-74 months), the median overall survival for patients with ETP-ALL/LBL was not reached versus 11.5 months for the non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients (P = .014)). Twenty-six patients receive allo-SCT in CR1. There was no significant difference in overall survival (79% vs. 70%; P = .49) between both transplant-cohorts in both groups. ETP-ALL/LBL represents a high-risk disease subtype of adult ALL. Novel treatment strategies are needed to improve treatment outcomes in this patient's population.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Early T-cell precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL/LBL) is a newly recognized entity of T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The optimal therapeutic approaches to adult patients are poorly studied.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
We compared the outcomes of adult's patents with ETP-ALL/LBL who received frontline chemotherapy regimens with other T-ALL/LBL immunophenotypic subtypes. Patients with ETP-ALL/LBL were identified based on CD1a (-), CD8 (-), CD5 (-) (dim), and positivity for 1 or more stem cell or myeloid antigens.
RESULTS
Sixty-nine patients were included between the years 2010 and 2021 (19 ETP-T-ALL/LBL; 50 non ETP- T-cell ALL/LBL). The median age was 26 year (IQR: 21, 33). Fifty-six patients presented as ALL, while 16 with lymphoblastic lymphoma. Forty-seven patients achieved complete remission, and 43 were alive at last encounter. The complete remission rate in patients with ETP-ALL/LBL was lower than that of non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients (32% vs. 68%; P = .2), and the MRD at end of induction was significantly higher (26% vs. 6.2%, P < .001), and more likely to receive allo-SCT consolidation in CR1 (95% vs. 40%, P < .001). After a median follow-up of survivors of 48 months (range: 32-74 months), the median overall survival for patients with ETP-ALL/LBL was not reached versus 11.5 months for the non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients (P = .014)). Twenty-six patients receive allo-SCT in CR1. There was no significant difference in overall survival (79% vs. 70%; P = .49) between both transplant-cohorts in both groups.
CONCLUSION
ETP-ALL/LBL represents a high-risk disease subtype of adult ALL. Novel treatment strategies are needed to improve treatment outcomes in this patient's population.
