Abstract: The prognosis of patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is very poor. To improve survival rates, we attempted to intensify the conditioning regimen with daunorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone, medium-dose etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation (DNR/VCR/PSL plus medium-dose VP/CY/TBI). Four patients in relapse or induction failure of B-precursor ALL without other complications underwent allogeneic HSCT. Initially, chemotherapy comprising DNR 60 mg/m2 for 3 days, VCR 1.4 mg/m2 for 1 day, and PSL 60 mg/m2 for 3 days was administered, which was followed by medium-dose VP/CY/TBI; some modifications were made for individual patients. All patients achieved engraftment and complete remission after HSCT. Regimen-related toxicities were tolerable and no patient died within 100 days. Two patients were alive without disease on days 563 and 1055. The third patient relapsed on day 951, while the fourth died on day 179 without disease. Our results indicate that intensified myeloablative HSCT should be considered for patients with refractory ALL.
