Genomic aberrations deletion 11q and deletion 17p independently predict for worse progression-free and overall survival after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia remains incurable despite availability of potent chemoimmunotherapy regimens. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only modality that offers the possibility of cure. To identify predictors of progression-free and overall survival, we evaluated outcomes of 43 consecutive patients who received an allograft for advanced CLL. The majority received a reduced intensity conditioning regimen (n=37). Donors were HLA matched-related (n=18), matched-unrelated (n=15), mismatched-unrelated (n=7), or umbilical cord blood (n=3). The median progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 31.4 months and 46.4 months respectively. Twenty (46.5%) patients were alive and in complete remission at a median follow-up of 31.4 months. NRM was higher than pre
